Before I post our victorious adventures at the Search4Yaris scavanger hunt, I need to get a few lingering Altoona photos out of the queue.
The pic above is a stream 1.7 miles back into the State Game Lands behind my parent's house. The water is potable and cold. The place is only ever visited by deer and deer hunters, so the moss is pristine on the rocks and it all looks untrodden. There are wild brook trout in the pools so skitterish that you can only see them dart away as you are still many feet from the stream.
Here you see my folks, waiting in the driveway for our arrival. It's kind of a tradtion.
The next shot is The Meadows in Greenwood, home of the world's greatest frozen custard. Can someone explain to me the difference between ice cream, custard, and gelato?
That tree I'm pointing at tried to kill my brother. I would tell the story, but then neither my nephew nor my children would ever be allowed to ride a motorcycle. I probably would be forbidden too.
The red berry my mom is pointing out is a teaberry. Not only edible, but quite tasty. I'd like to describe what it tastes like, but it really just tastes like teaberry.
This last shot is some great steaks from Dan and Kelly that my parents shared with us. Look at those grill lines! I mean look at them! Perfect rhombuses.
Here's some Sites of the Day:
– Famke Janssen (model, actress, neighbor to STC) seeks a storytelling boyfriend. I tell stories. Hmmm.
– If you sell a broken laptop on eBay, you better delete the harddrive. Sorta not safe for work.
