It's been a fabulous break from the rest of the world however wherever you go you always take your thoughts and memories with you.

The weather has changed and we've had plenty of rain to dampen the dust down but it hasn't stopped us working as you will see. No matter what the weather the view is fantastic.

We cut it to a reasonable length - 22 feet (USA hasn't gone metric yet unlike sensible Canada) and took off all the branch stubs sticking out.

Beyond this point is a deep ravine and the parking area slopes down so we had to be careful not to roll the log too quickly or it would have gone over the edge. We drove in some hefty iron spikes to make sure it wasn't going anywhere.

It is a perfect spot for an observation area because there was clear evidence bears use the trail (bear poo). This is a path that is crying out for an automatic trail camera.

The lichen on the oak tree is incredible with each frond appearing to be a plant in it's own right however it is probably just one plant.

I'm afraid my photographs taken with my Samsung Galaxy S8 phone don't do justice to the scenes here. I haven't had the opportunity to enhance them before loading them onto the website because I struggle to do things on my tablet that I can do on my desktop PC at home.
