Last one I'm posting about this new trail I found recently.

There is a photo montage of 'Worlds Worst Bike Trails', and this looks like it could be an entry for it at some level. The photos of worst trails are just beyond description, and so numerous too. Like, was the person that laid it out on acid that day? Let you imagination run wild, and I'm sure there is a picture of it. Some were just so horrific you have to laugh. Yeah, there are a bunch with trees in the middle. Some taking up the entire trail.

Thank you for sharing :cool:

A few years ago I took several photos of a black bird that was unknown to me, and what I found the most interesting were its eyes. After looking at the Euphagus Carolinus in the link you posted, I realized what the bird was.
Very apt name, he does look a bit rusty!

I agree, its eyes are something unique and the combination of colors too.

They got cheese
e1fee6ed3935a301ea44c41f71151064.jpg

Tillamook County Oregon. We visited the factory viewing area. A hall with windows on each side. The left side provided a viewing of large stainless steel cheese processing containers. On the right side the factory workers in grey shirts, head coverings and face masks processed large blocks of orange colored cheese. As the cheese blocks rolled down the line, they were cut into smaller blocks and weight checked before packaging. The outer area had a large plastic cow. A milking machine was available for practice fitting on the cow, including real suction.

OMG!!! Like when I hit the Harrod's food court. It's far more like a food orgasm, an endless selection of smoked fish, and seafood of all kinds, and real legs of animals, standing on display, and you can walk out with paper thin slices of said leg(s). Oddly looking like that infamous leg lamp, so gaudy and odd to see for an American. You just don't see that, and I was amazed at seeing it all over Italy and Spain too.

But I turned a corner and walked right into -- constipation...

An entire mind numbingly huge collection of FROMAGE!!! Such a horrific collection of fromage from all over the world. Yellow, white, blue, green, dry, slimy, sweet, bitter, solid, gelatinous, fragrant, odoriferous, revolting???. So much cheese! Wallace and Gromit just HINT at the many kinds of cheeses in the UK. It seems that every small dairy has their own special cheese, and every small town and village has their own selections of locally produced cheese. And cheese in quantities that I never knew existed! 'Wheels' of cheese larger than a manhole cover, and over a foot thick. Quantities of cheese that have to be wheeled out on industrial, no nonsense, carts that could have help excavator engines... I literally stopped walking. I think a squealed... Yes, the seafood section took a bit of time to get through (They offer samples!!!), but the cheese was just, nothing short of... Is there a word BIGGER than galactic? Universe? Local group? Beyond critical mass? My bowels tightened looking at the many opportunities to never do a #2 ever again...

Yeah, I avoided 'complications', and passed on the vast majority of the fromage.


But I was tickled that the local grocery started carrying Tillamook cheeses. Who hasn't heard of that cheese. And it's not those wimpy grated, or shredded cheese, this is wide and long ribbons of goodness. And it's all good. BTW: Cheese is what is keeping me from going total 'V'. Give up cheese? You have to be insane!!!

Mentioned Red Rock Canyon yesterday. A fairly small feature which anyone from Colorado or Utah is almost certain to find disappointing. This shot taken within seconds of yesterdays, but facing North instead of South. Absolutely wicked lighting and a lot of post image massaging just to make it presentable. Fuji XP90 camera.

Outside of the image just to the right is the Prime Ministers pride and joy. A mighty $1,000,000+ composting outhouse which the firefighters fought heroically to save from destruction. They might well have saved their toil, for it is known by all who dare try to enter as: "I can hold it."

Reminds me of getting a block of 'Government Cheese" during the giveaway back in the early 1980's (?) . 5 pounders IIRC . Made the best mac and cheese .
