Vol XVI – #104 – Meggen’s Monday

On days that start out gray and overcast, it’s fun to seek out those little pops of color that surround us – cherries and flowers in this instance. It’s a beautiful, breezy day with sky peeking through the cloud cover by noon.  

Vol XVI – #085 – A Great Day of Trail Jeeping

Biscuit and I were treated to a great afternoon of trail Jeeping in the hills and backwoods overlooking Sugarloaf.  With old friend Jim Gruber, we drove on trails camouflaged by Mother Nature and around many of the trees fallen by the straight winds of last summers Aug 2nd.
