Yes, I use a spoon. I'm not totally uncivilized!

True. I've always noticed the grandiosity of midwestern courthouses too. In most cases, I'm proud of them for their maintenance efforts.

I bet you went into the woods and collected blueberries with an empty coffee can, as I did. I could easily eat a coffee can full of blueberries in a day. I'm sure you know what color your stool is the next day.

Interesting. Unlike a lot of my silly wildlife identifications, I really did think that was a chipmunk

I have a hard time asking people if I can take their picture, too. There are almost none in my journals.

Oh, the Neligan Rd looks inviting. Think I might have had to route down the Nestoria-Herman Road - it looks interesting. Also looks like lots of short sharp hills and a whole lot of view-blockers though.

I like the chapters - it's sort of like bible verses for the Church of the Great Outdoors. It's certainly a beautiful place with lots of nice views and view-blockers, thanks for the tour.

I think 47 degrees is just about the perfect overnight low for camping if it's not raining. Cool enough to cuddle down in the bag and sleep well, but not so cold through the night it wakes you up.

That is a nice campsite, and yes that is an exceptionally ugly fire pit. How do you get anything to burn in there without any holes at the bottom for oxygen to get in? 'Cause I'm thinking you would want the smoke from a fire to keep the mozzies away!

You've had some nice shield pics already in your journal, but road cuts are always good geology porn!

Please tell me you at least use a spoon? I agree with the no bread thing, though, even in the days of yore when I could eat bread.

The guys are keen to float this one :-)

Haha, now I read your next paragraph.... sorry jumped the gun!

Oh no! Those clouds.... those don't bode well for staying dry in the next 48 hours!

Whoa... you weren't kidding about highway noise!

I'm sure there would be an interesting conversation to be had with the driver of that vehicle....
