This was taken after a long walk back and forth into the woods to get to a remote area that isn't really so remote anymore. Bog bikes are making everything easier these days. Where once everyone had a horse to haul out wood or to drag supplies in to a cabin, these days bog bikes are the norm, and holy these bikes are expensive with hand warmer grips and everything.

We passed two of these bikes and one got some help from my brother when he lost his keys.

My grandfather made this walk more times than I ever will, and it was a sad thing to relocate the families, my families, into more populated areas. It wasn't that far in and there was a road. Then again he might never have met my grandmother, if things didn't go down they way they did.

I like the idea of rolling out plans for the new year, Paula! My first plan is to purchase a flash for the dslr and become a whiz. I was at the mall today. I know...craziness, but the camera store's system was down and nothing could be purchased; not even with cash! Too bad for them on such a busy freaking day. I'll go back during the week.

What about you Paula? What is a plan of yours? I've got more, and I think daily while I am not working, I'll roll them out. It is pretty fantastic being away from the office. AND my cold is diminishing. Tonight N&C are coming over to exchange gifts. Did I tell you I got him Clocky?
