Breaking patterns

The family was away at sailing camp for a few days this week.  I took advantage of the opportunity to do something out of pattern and out of character, if anything can be considered out of character for me.  I packed up my camping gear and camped out at the lake one night.  It’s only fifteen minutes from work, so I was fishing from about 6:30 to 8:30, then I built a fire and had a beer, and went to sleep.  Great night, great morning, and I managed to get a walk in as well.  I was reminded, however, of how much I dislike sleeping on the hard ground.  Guess it’s time for the air mattress.

Apparently I didn’t get enough…

letterboxing this weekend.  I decided to work some more letterboxing into my morning walk.  I found one of the four boxes listed at Cassandra’s Pokemon Adventure.  The other three must have been gathered together somewhere for an early morning swim.

Other interesting finds, a large (about 15″ long) turtle shell with bones in it, and a Sky Runner free-flight electric airplane, which looks as if it has been converted to RC.  I left them there for someone else to find.
