What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

You’re in my neck of the woods. I live in Visalia, and the peaks you can see from Moro Rock are where I go backpacking. I have two week long trips in the high country coming up next month.
Which trails are you doing? I was just telling my wife I should come back in August and do one. I did the high sierra trail several years back.

Have an okay day.
Beautiful case knives
 
We celebrated my daughter Eleanor’s 8th birthday today. She had a party at a trampoline park yesterday with all her friends, so today was just family time. We went out to eat breakfast at one of her favorite places, then went to the zoo (something that has become a bit of a birthday tradition for us).

It was warm and sunny most of the day, and the girls were more interested in playing in the zoo’s splash pad than walking around looking at animals. (We have an annual zoo membership, so it’s nice to be able to go without feeling like you have to do and see everything to get your money’s worth). Here’s Scout having some fun at the splash pad.



We did get to see a bird show that they do a couple times a day, which was a first for us.







After the bird show and splash pad (and some obligatory Dippin’ Dots), we walked around one of the zoo’s smaller (and more shaded) trails that features animals native to Minnesota. A lot of animals were staying cool in the shade (who could blame them), but we did see a few, including a pair of pumas, which I don’t think we’d see out when we’d visited before.



As always on Eleanor’s birthday, I had her Nifebrite #71 Bull Nose, the knife I had with me the day she was born.



And, as always, I’m going to subject you to a recap of the photos I take of her every year with her knife.

1 day old (Eleanor was born late at night, so her first knife pic was actually taken the next day):

Which trails are you doing? I was just telling my wife I should come back in August and do one. I did the high sierra trail several years back.

The first will be from Marvin Pass across to Whitney, via Cloud Canyon/Colby Pass, the second will be a six day loop out of Mineral King. I may have one space available on the permit for the Mineral King loop if you want to tag along. I really like the Mineral King area.

Knife content for the day:
