Babcock



The last 2 days I have been out in the woods riding my bike. Last year I noticed that almost everywhere I went I saw aluminum cans laying along the side of the roads I rode on. So this year I got another garbage can and started collecting just a few of the cans I found. I don't pick up all the ones I see, mind you, but my garbage can is already half full, and I have only been collecting them for a little over a month. The last 2 days I have been out on roads that don't get much traffic and I still can't believe how many cans I have picked up. Not to be confused with the old guys who go out and pick up cans along the road for money, I can still see that this little diversion will be quite lucrative in the long run. There are certainly alot of slob beer drinkers around here , throwing their garbage out in the woods. I used to hate seeing those cans along the road and now I'm doing something about it.... even if I am making some money at the same time.

Well, my headline was Babcock, and that was the destination of my ride yesterday, but today I was up around Clarks Peak. My ride today was only 14 miles and yesterdays was 17. I posted some pictures on my web album and they can be seen here. The 2 pictures above are of a meadow I saw that had the nicest shades of green, and the wild strawberry plants I see every day. I just love being out in the woods!!
