There is still some stunning color from time to time. We walked through a lot of land that had been logged today, and the young aspen and sucker oaks are still bright.
Looking for an attractive autumn wreath? How about a completely natural one?
We saw quite a few really large white pines yesterday and today. This picture was from yesterday, and I think we saw a couple even larger ones today.
They all seemed very healthy with many strong viable branches yet.
Bill said, as I took yet another similar picture, "You really like those aspen trees, don't you?"
Yes, I do. This is today's best effort.
Bill and I started hiking at 8:45 and finished at 3 p.m. After that, I needed to move the trailer. Got to my new location just before dark, but I'm now settled in, and my new hosts fed me dinner. Very nice.
So many thanks to my previous hosts, Mark and Julie. They are pictured here with daughters, Beth and Anna. Their son, Luke, was not there when it was picture time. I really wanted to stay there longer and get better acquainted. Their whole lifestyle is geared around being self-sufficient as far as food and bartering for other items. And Julie shears her sheep, spins the wool, and knits. Of course, many of you know I have a super soft spot in my heart for children like Anna. We had a blast!
Miles today: 15.6. Total miles so far: 3853.7.

That is an impressive day! Hiking over 15 miles, taking and posting beautiful pictures, moving your trailer, and thanking your recent and current hosts. I am exhausted just thinking about it. Congratulations!
Very cool natural wreath. Are those actually growing out of that stump?
