It's the second half of November as the label job I ran today reminds me. 🏷️ The landscape is cold and barren, it's dark out for a good portion of day, and riding home in the dark isn't much fun. But you make the best of it, and I figure the extra sleep and time to learn isn't a bad thing. πŸ›Œ Next adventure after Thanksgiving! πŸ¦ƒ Hopefully the fire risk is down by then as I want to have a big bonfire in wilderness πŸ”₯ after a good day riding trail or hiking. 🚢

Farm Country North of Parsons

Farm country in hills north of Parsons, near an area known as Lead Mine, WV.

This area is famous as it was where several photos of the Vagabonds -- Thomas Edison, John Burroughs, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone -- were taken in 1918 of them camping in hills. About two decades later this area was home to a large CCC Camp that worked on reforestation projects in the area.
