Nature Provides Very Cheap Weekend Entertainment.
During this weekend, I spent nearly all my daytime hours in the outdoors. Saturday, I took the Jeep for a long ride through a canyon, a forest, a flat mesa and over a stream or two. I brought some food, some water, my chair and my camera and had an incredibly enjoyable day siteseeing all sorts of places I had not gone to since we moved here. I watched hawks flying overhead and diving down to pick up rabbits, I saw fishermen angling for trout swimming in a deep river by the side of the road, and I sat out in my camping chair with a good book at an overlook checking out the entire valley below. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, trees and ground shrub were slowly getting back their green, and I was truly entertained and relaxed. Total cost of my Saturday? $9 for gasoline.
