I am happy I am not alone Jack
Still getting out and about, now everything is lush and green ( and full of mosquitoes and ticks
, so we are been very careful )
Still have a few pics on my phone that I have not shared yet from early spring and is amazing to see how quickly the green foliage has filled the forests.
Cheers Guardians

I'm carrying my 2017 Guardians SFO "Midnight Special" this morning. I'll show y'all a little pile side action.
Be safe out there, this COVID stuff is getting scary again!

When I was a teenager, South Yorkshire Transport, who ran public transport in Sheffield then, announced they were going to start playing music on the top-deck of the bus, which I remember thinking sounded like a great idea. Of course, what they actually played was the worst type of Lift Muzak, interspersed with adverts. Since they weren't very good at advertising, most of the 'jingles' were for South Yorkshire Transport themselves (even today I can still hear some of them playing in my head)!The tape was on a 15 minute loop, and so on longer bus journeys, you'd be forced to listen to them all more than once. Apart from the top-deck, they also played in the bus-drivers cab, and the drivers got so sick of them, they started sabotaging the machines! It was still about 10 years before they abandoned the experiment

There's nothing like being half way through a long trip, and already hurting bad, makes a miserable time.Same here.
My wife wants to take a bunch of trips, but she doesn't fully understand what it does to me.
Thank you, Jack! Moving along!Gope you're doing OK Dennis, great pic![]()

Glad you kept it, sure is looking good these days, Bill!Going with this Lambfoot Barlow knife today. Despite some early problems (since worked out) this knife has developed some character (in my mind).

I'd like to see a pic of your entire flock of "Tennessee Lambs" when you've had a chance to get them all together, Ron!(Do you know the song "Dixie Chicken" by Little Feat?

Great tunes to go along with your great posts, Gary!That's too much rain, Bill!![]()
It takes us about 2 1/2 days to go ~800 miles, and haven't been able to do that drive in 2 years.If I'm not the driver, I seem to do OK on car trips; if I'm driving, I need fairly frequent stops to walk around, stretch, etc which turns out to be quite time-consuming.
Such stunning covers, looks like part of a topographic map, maybe a draw.social-distancing requirements.

Great looking Lambsfoot, and a great looking trail to be with the family on a walk, Dan!Meanwhile the family is waiting so we can proceed with our walk

Thank you very much, Harvey! Growing up in a mining town in NM, I use to be a bit of a rock hound, most of them got left behind as we moved.mitch4ging - Howdy Dennis. Fine image of your Hartshead.

They were short by 5, but the Eagles came to mind with yours and Jack's bridge stories!The neighboring town has a community called 12 bridges. It used to be a old ranch and the owner had stone bridges built to cross the creeks (12 of them). As they built the community, the bridges were preserved.
That looks quite refreshing, Mr. Jack!I was over in Taddy again last night![]()
