GETTING FAMILIAR WITH MOTHER NATURE
Grinding the Crack
There are a lot of ways to get it done, but we offer up a
WEEKENDER :) video sent to me by my eldest who has been
a wilderness guide, canoeist and helicopter/rafting leader.
This is something I hope Kristin is not thinking about doing,
but it does offer some thrills. Hang on for this one.
Now we'll offer up a less harrowing way to interact with the elements. Here's a taste of what many of us Central Coasters have been doing, watching for whales.
IT'S A NEW TRACK RECORD
It was always exciting when the late Tom Carnegie, track announcer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, boomed those words. The phrase was so famous in Indianapolis it became a kind of buzz word cliche for any manner of "record setting" activity. Today the Friday Lunch Flash Mob set
a "new track record." We had FIVE picnic tables.
Kind of amazing when we recall it started with about five or six sitting up on the deck. Big kids like to have fun too!
Have a great weekend. See you down the trail.
I'd arrange those benches in a circle so people could communicate with each other.
ReplyDeleteWell we do get up and walk around that way we get our exercise.
DeleteI love seeing that old school in the distance. In some of your other pictures it's more clear.
ReplyDeleteIt is the old San Simeon School. I've suggested they do "reenactments " on special weekends. It would be great to see "frontier" kids and horses on the grounds. A lot of history there.
DeleteGrinding the crack....about halfway thru I wondered how it was going to end...how the subject of the video was going to make it back for another day. Scary velocity.,,wonder whether the ambient noise (e.g., whoosh sound) is native or added.

Scary indeed. I'd say it was indeed a near miss. Certainly no margin of error and certainly not a sport I'd try, even back in my "bullet proof" era.
