Yesterday and today Brenda took a spin in Blue II with me, it is not her favourite way to travel but she is a trooper and trying to look like she is enjoying it. I like this Can-Am but it does have one flaw, it is a mid-engine outfit and that engine sits right between our seats and throws a pile of heat. Those who have followed our journey with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome know that heat is not a great thing, so that doesn't make it anymore comfortable for her either. This is beautiful country and the scenery starts just beyond where you can walk easily. Back in the day Meg and I walked a couple of hundred miles through these hills but now Blue II is doing the moving and I am just along for the ride.
Along the way we came upon this memorial, appeared to honour two folks but the pictures were so sun faded it was hard to tell.
We took about a 6 or 8 mile run through the hills past an old mine site and the memorial and then back to camp to chill for the rest of the day. I spent a little time mucking about with my extension tubes and camera and below is the result of that exercise.
Just a rock but it could be the Grand Canyon |
Wouldn't want to step on this little bugger |
Yes, that is a huge fault of the CanAm--friends of ours purchased a cover for the console which also covers the side walls--Kathy said it doesn't solve the heat problem but it sure helps!
ReplyDeleteOur friends were always picking those burrs out of their dog's paws. Mean little buggers! I guess they do not bother horses with their thick hoofs.
