Leisure Drive Around

Something unpleasant to view while driving
pass...

It certainly got my attention wondering why the trees are black...
When you have a closer look...
You'll noticed that they are burnt...

Fire burned a very large area of the forest...
threatened homes, wildlife, soil stability...
human-caused link fire burnt 3,600 acres...
while lightning-caused linked burnt over 90,000 & 3,900 acres on forest in two separate area...

Regardless either caused...
This is saddening to view...
I prefer seeing the green...
How do you feel about this?

~~~~~~~~~~

We were actually planning to discover more about this trail...
However, we made a turn back after we saw a sheriff's car nearby...
Reason?
We did not have small change to pay for registration...
And we have no guts to enter 'illegally'....
Haa...

Well, probably nobody bother to come checking whether or not you have paid...
BUT...
Still...
A tiny bitty worry linger deep down the heart...
Nevermind!
At least we saw something interesting!
~~The River Ruler~~

There is another trail en-route...
A scenic view from the lookout platform..
Clear water in the river...
Mossy trees...

~~~~~~~~~~

The office is closed...
We just stopped by to snap a photo...
We saw two elderly...
In their own vehicle...
Sipping hot beverage...
Reading...
Quietly...

~~~~~~~~~~

Evening...
Went to my friend's favorite brew pub...
(Well, to be precise, there are actually more than one good place)

The people are friendly...
The atmosphere is warm...
The beer is good as always...

And...
Ofcouse...
The place is crowded...

Friends..
Lovers...
Family...

Enjoy the local dish!
Enjoy the crowd!
And..most importantly enjoy the beer!
