Afternoon exploring some flooded out areas

[Widerstand]

This is somewhat of a small outing for me since its been really muggy here and pretty much all my spots I like to go to are flooded out it seems.

So I went to check out some of the flooded spots and to ID some plants.... I also added some cord warp to my bag to make it's handle softer in hand.

Plantain

Lupine

Mullen

It's kind of hard to tell from this photo but those are some spawning fish, they were pretty much all going crazy.

Here is a shot of the flooded out path.

I found some nettles, they sure grow up fast here in the NW it seems.

After

On my way back I stopped to do some cord wrapping on my bag and then called it an afternoon.

I can't wait for some better weather to do more!

Nice man, so green and lush. That wrap seems like a good idea; I know the exact handle I want to try it on.

Good stuff. Did you harvest any of the nettle?

Good stuff Wider. I like the wrap job you did on the pack handle.

Agreed, nice handle wrapping. I'd love to do that on all my packs.

Yeah it comes in handy and I think it looks better as well.
