covering the Silo






Rien has a sore back but is doing way better
but Marc and him switched what they usually do
we didn't find all the bags, so we used some of the spares


water break



covering 2 bunks is quite enough!
but so thankful is became cloudy

Jones Bluff and Crooked Toe rd.


Up on the Bluff, we look back on all the bluffs we have been on before


 It was a day of mushrooms


they were all over the place


beautiful colours


multiple lookouts, most on the north side


but some on the south



some fall colours 


and a boat in a weird place


on Crooked Toe Rd.
