Wow! An old abandoned house, just sitting there forgotten ,love going through old abandoned houses, a touch of the past into someone’s life. Most likely owned by foreigners who have past on and given the house to their children, who don’t want it, so it just sits there for 20 years or more until the [...]

Dawn is breaking. The east side of anywhere would be good right now. I’m going into new territory today. Bears are thick and they are just out of hibernation with their cubs. Got to be careful. All the ones I have run into have been more scared of me then me of them.
Beautiful day; water [...]
