Yummie Breakfast

|

I haven't had corn beef hash in a long time, and without my hunting knife and some quick thinking to get open the can, I probably wouldn't have have had anything. While I probably should sharpen my knife now, it cut the can like butter, which was good because I left my can opener home and couldn't find my pocket knife in my truck.

More Rain

Sitting in the campsite, looking at the rain pounding down in the puddles by the campsite. Saturday really was a dreary day, good for drinking beer and reading books mostly.

Trees in Powley Place

A lot of Powley Place is not marsh, but actually grasses, as a farmer once tried to farm these lands, and their is probably an agricultural tiling system in ground here, to keep this area dry year round.
