Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

LEAF RIDE NUMBER 2

Went for our second leaf ride yesterday. I think it is the first time we have been on this mountain together this year. I went up and watched them burn where the first picture is taken and helped put that fire out after it escaped but that's not the same as just riding and looking at the wonders of nature.

I know the hunting seasons are upon us but I was surprised to see the deer all with their winter coats and not a single reddish hair on their sleek bodies. It reminds me that winter isn't all that far away. We could have significant snow in a couple of weeks. That would suck big time.

I love the opportunity to just go to our National Forests and just enjoy the surroundings. This is the only nation in the world that had the foresight to set some lands aside for all the citizens (and others if they so choose) to enjoy without fees or fear of being run off by the land owner.




THANK YOU TEDDY ROOSEVELT!!!!! BITE ME ROB BISHOP AND GARY HERBERT!!!

Very pretty. The deer look like they are quite curious about you.
