Vacation!


I spent the afternoon riding and hiking and just generally enjoying my island vacation. As you can see, there is now snow in the higher elevations - the top photo is Pyramid Peak reflected in a little pond above Westward Seafoods.

Every once in awhile I would flop down and pull a book out of my backpack and read for awhile; the weather was perfect with the sun beaming down and it truly did feel like a vacation, well deserved after 4 months 0f 7 days a week.

OMG! How beautiful and snow too! I've been blessed today. Thanks for the pics, would like to see the second picture without the bike, no offense, I'm just not a bike person.

Bushwack, no off-road for me, I'm a tread lightly kind of guy. There are many, many "roads" left over from the WW II occupation to stay on and the tundra heals too slow for me to ever want to tear it up.

Plus, there are only a small handful of off-road capable bikes on the island, mine being the biggest, so I would have a knock on my door within 24 hours . . .
