Day 43: The Bike & Firepit Stories
Went to get groceries on Chrissy's bike she offered to us, but soon found that the Walmart was a 3 mile uphill highway road. I ran over a piece of un-barbed wire that instantly lodged in the spokes of my rear tire, I stopped for awhile to unravel it. At the mart I bought food and charcoal for grill for the guys back at the yard. Reluctantly my FRONT tire went flat 3/4 of the way down that damn hill with my backpack full of groceries.
Back at the yard I sorted through 8ish days of food for the next section to Lake City. What I brought back to cook were ribeye stakes, corn, and avocado. Wings and Gofar were pleasantly surprised.
For second dinner we all walked down the back roads while Chrissy searched for asparagus and other wild edibles, we bought ice cream from a "Malt Shoppe" down the street. Once back at the yard Nick lit a fire with gasoline with a big WHOOF. He told stories around the fire late into the night along the lines of his life, cosmology, Indian Ideologies, and the duality of all things (yin-yang).
