From The Top

IMG_1605

The view from the top was quite spectacular. This seems to be a largely quartz/quartzite ridge. There was even NextG reception here in the middle of nowhere!

Quilt Show

IMG_1453

A quilt that caught my eye at the quilt show. There were lots of VW beetles and band names on the number plates. When I looked closer I saw the name Warren Zevon. He did a great song called Don't Let Us Get Sick.
