Was supposed to do our annual Rend Lake camp, but the wind was just too cold to go tent camping. We decided to go to the cabin instead, and do a hike Saturday. I missed going to the campground, but it was a good choice.
Woke up to a chilly morning:
Now that the leaves have fallen, you can see the river:
This small tree was growing up in a cedar, so I chopped it down with the 4:
Didn't hit the sweet spot every time, but the chips were still flying:
Just about there:
Success:
Delimbing with snap cuts was fun:
A little color:
Went for a small walk down the lane. Looks so different being able to see out into the hills now:
One lone dandelion. Not what you expect to see in November:
Went to Millstream Gardens again, for a small hike. We were gonna hike Silver Mines, but we were running a bit late, so chose the closer of the 2.Millstream Gardens hosts a big kayak race every year. It's on the St. Francis River:
For the biggest part, all paved:
Cat's Paw Overlook. It's much higher than it looks. Cameras never seem to capture depth too well:
Shark's Fin:
Pine Rock Overlook. This was the prettiest place there. My shots do it no justice what-so-ever. I could have stayed at this one spot all day. We were gonna do a small lunch there, but had eaten a bit earlier, so decided not to:
Big Rock Rapids:
A little more color:
Stopped here for a smoke:
Custom 11:
Sun behind a cool pine:
Had a nice warm fire back at the cabin Saturday night:
Sunday morning, the leaves started falling on cue, as if someone pushed a button. They were frost heavy, and started falling. Very overcast Sunday morning:
Been showing the 4 a little love. Chopped, delimbed, batonned, you name it. This blade is so much fun:
Strange anomaly in the sky. It was cooler in real life:
The wife was dying to use her new 15, since we didn't on the trail:
