This morning was just a little bizarre. Got a good, though not-quite-solid, night’s sleep, nearly a full eight hours. Had time for a shower before leaving the house, and still got to the trail start of the Bluff two minutes…
2016-07-30 – Dog and spiderweb don’t mix
A morning of fantastic color. Got out of the house a touch late this morning, and Jerry hadn’t moved his pickup from behind mine, so I decided to take his. Cody had a little bit more difficulty hopping up into…
