Bubba and I are in Bend for a little fun in the dirt --

We've found a very few patches of fireweed today. We did see a badger but no pictures.


Me coming down Phil's trail


Just a bit further, down I found this nice guy.


Found him again at the famous Flaming Chicken roundy (Bend has traffic roundies with the first being decorated with a phoenix sculpture. Of course, the irreverent trail builders had to replicate it out in the forest).


What's for dinner after 27 miles of singletrack? Cajun Shrimp and dirty rice, err, toes
