a treatise on nature

I'm happy to report that I have accomplished a goal I've been working on for a while. Well I don;t quite like the word ""accomplish"" and """goal"""because I believe it is an ongoing project. The basic premise is to go from city to nature without a car. Rocky touched on this with the hal project not too long ago. If nature can walk in to the city uninvited then why not vice versa?

Well this specific thing was camping with bike. Cermak and I got geared up with Northwest® type gear like nice bikes paniers (peas and cheese) and the tent and some good food. We rode the bus to near the end of the line utlilizing the bike racks but having to unload the gear. Then geared up and rode to the ferry - cruised over to the I-land for a nice ride onto the campsite. The campfire was the bomb luckily there was wood at the state park for sale cuz we couldn't have loaded that on the bike rack. Attractions included an ancient cedar and a beach . Fauna included a very loud OWL in the middle of the night and BANDITOS (what I like to call small critters who scurry around a campsite eating your breadcrumbs)

  1. This is an excellent accomplishment. Congratulations. I would be excited to hear an owl, for certain. I also will post a link to a happening that continues a discussion about young idealistic people (yuppies? or not) getting involved in communities for the community's good. This I think is more effective than usual partially becuase it features music of old friends. CHAIN and the Gang

    Wow I like that music! I hadn't heard that new album...kinda on repeat though. Those kids had their hearts in the right places and style too. Idealistic ~ = < realistic??
