Fire is beautiful, especially when you don't have matches or other artificial means with which to make it. When it's you, nature and your own two hands, it's a whole different deal. I've only built fire “from scratch” once in my entire life, and it took us the better part of a day to accomplish. Man, incredible… That was the summer of 1993, when I was a counselor in Estes at Cheley, now that I think about it… the summer I met my wife. That was a good summer. Hard to believe we're going on 15 years this May. Time flies…Great post Jason. Thanks for sharing it with us.Cheers,MG]]>
16 mile trek along the short route for the St. Paul Classic Bike Tour (15 miles).
Steve is definitely a faster biker than I am, but I did my best and with the exception that I had to walk up the last third of the Ramsey hill, I did a decent job of keeping up with him.
But I have a lot of work to do before the bike tour.]]>
