A Slow Ride at Clear Creek

I had planned on going over to Tupelo for a mountain bike ride at Trace State Park, but decided to go out to Clear Creek for a lazy ride instead. As desperately as I need to train for the 6-hours of Herb, I just felt more like being lazy and enjoying the outdoors.

I caught a lot of that Ken Burns series on National Parks this weekend. It was transforming and made me see these places in completely new ways. I spent yesterday in The Pinelands National Preserve, as I have done hundreds of times before, but this time was different. Because of the series I now knew a little about John Muir and listened a lot. It rained a bit and I heard it hit the water and leaves. I viewed the trees and forests with a new set of eyes. I have always felt close to God in the woods and now, I feel even closer. I loved how the Native American spoke about the white man "discovering" these areas, and stating that they were never lost in the first place. My sentiments exactly.
For this, I thank you, Richard.

Hey Richard, I like these pics, I'm a sucker for pictures.

BTW, the lemming has actually done Leadville (Race Across the Sky) a few times. He'd never admit that in response to your comment post since he likes to keep it lighthearted and humorous, and anonymous... :)
