Day 239 of the Adventure
Pre-Dawn Campfire |
There is a large rain passing to our north this morning. It's not giving us any yet, but it probably will before it's all over. What it is giving us is a beautifully fresh breeze. One I decided to take full advantage of by getting out and about long before sunrise. It's one of the simple pleasures out here in the woods. One I cannot find adequate words to describe. At least from my perspective. I think the impending rain has left the lake quiet this morning as well as the small amount of traffic to the lake which passes not too far from us up the hill on the road. It's never a bother, but on quiet days, it's noticeably even more quiet. That quiet is part of the beauty and charm of living far from the hustle and bustle of town. Or even the areas close to town. At 61 years of age, I sometimes wonder what took me so long to find this kind of solitude much sooner.
My Squatch! |
So far, the only serious Sasquatch sighting I've had is the one on my refrigerator door. No, his name is not Midea, that's the fridge. But I'll name him eventually. Shelley, of course, rolls her eyes at the Squatch talk, but you know, someone has to balance this Adventure out and keep it believable. So, I'll carry the torch, keep my ears and eyes to the woods and report any suspicious and mysterious activity from the direction of the forest behind Camp Run-Amuck (You know, the name just doesn't add much credibility to our Big Foot encounters...... Or maybe it's the perfect name to inspire the appropriate level of credibility!)
