Where were you today?

My back is really hurting for some reason but I managed to air down the tires and ride up on the mountain above the house for a little while today.

I hobbled down the trail a little when the road ended and sat beside this little mountain top pond for a couple hours.

I heard some stuff about Davey Crocket, when traveling the back country in cold weather, just building a very small fire between this legs and wrapping his coat around it to sleep, leaned up against a tree.

I decided to test managing one of these small fires with just little sticks and kept nice and warm for a couple hours while resting against a pine and watching the sun drift through the clouds.





Before I started it, I picked up a couple discarded bottles and filled them with water to help me manage the fire as it's pretty dry here and I don't want to burn the county down.

Then I talked to some friends on the local repeater a bit and enjoyed some quiet time.
