The Everyday Adventurer is back with a vengeance! What? You say I wasn't gone? Oh, but I was. My presence here was down to a very minimum. Exhaustion because of boring normal city life had limited my presence here and at my beloved nature areas to almost nothing.I have now decided to fight that awful demon of concrete and steel with every inch of my soul. Nothing can stop me now. I may lose a few battles, but I will win the war. I will emerge victorious and bring justice to the love of nature that wants to emerge from deep within my heart.
So now, on with the spectacle, on with the show. Let's begin a great journey, and see where it goes!
I was almost to the back of Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve, and there was a hill leading further to the rear of the park. I had to find out where it lead. Oh, I forgot I just said it lead to the back. But what was back there? Let's find out.
As I reached the top of the hill, I saw something in the distance. It was some sort of structure. It looked like a wrought iron fence, similar to the one that surrounded the dam. Just to the right of the fence was something else completely.It looked like a stack of huge boxes. It was hard to see since everything was covered in snow. What could be in these boxes? Why was there a fence there? I was very curious to see what these things were, so I had to move closer and investigate.
I was right! It was a fence and some boxes. I had some good pictures of the boxes, but they seem to have disappeared into the ether. In the boxes were more pieces of fencing. They clearly aren't done building this fence, but why?This fence marks the very back of the nature preserve. On the other side of the fence was that awful beast, civilization! It looked like one of those dreaded things they call neighborhoods. I hoped I wouldn't see any of those hairless apes that live in the buildings there. They so often mean trouble.
I hoped that extra fencing was there to keep those apes out of here. They always scare me. Wait! What was that? Did I see something moving out there? I'm not going to stay and find out! With that, I bounded off into the trees up ahead and to the left. Now safely hidden in my forest, I'm going to go home and rest. It's been a long day.

I hope you don't meet any apes on your journeys ever. I never knew how dangerous they could be so stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about civilization. Haven't seen bricks, mortars buildings and sidewalks in months and I don't really care to. Just give me the trail ahead.
Thanks for your pictures and as always your wonderful commentary.

ReplyDeleteMountain Woman - Actually, I've met a few of those hairless apes along the way. Their level of dangerousness depends on who or what they encounter, and in what setting it's in. Alice calls them Wild People when we meet them on a nature trail. She always asks me why they like to say hi so much. I tell her it's because the trails sometimes make them feel friendly and less aggressive.

Anonymous - The boxes contained more pieces for the fence. They probably want to make the fence bigger. My posts are set on a schedule so that more people can see them when they first come up. I write them at all different times.

Kruel - You got the Queen reference! I've been waiting for someone to do that. I put them in every once in awhile. I noticed that you do Guns 'N' Roses sometimes too. You're right, this post was kind of a Show Must Go On moment.

Sharkbytes - You got it exactly right! Your deer behind your window screen were a main inspiration for the post. The hairless ape was a guy that I saw staring at me from a house on the other side of that fence. I like civilization fenced out too. There are places it doesn't deserve to be.

Anonymous - The people that leave comments on here know Alice and me only here on the internet. They're all a nice and intelligent bunch of people. There is never a set time that I'm here monitoring my comments.
Don't worry, you're not wasting my time. Your comments are very good. But remember to be careful on the internet. Not all people that seem nice are really nice at all, so don't completely trust anybody.
I helped you by deleting your mistake comments the rest of the way. So don't feel bad about it.
Is my misery to have fighting against the concrete walls daily. Nature is only a small part of our life.
ReplyDeleteRainfield - It's the exact same for me, so I really understand
ReplyDeleteO, wow... did my deer really make you think that? I guess we all have deer on the brain.
ReplyDeleteok thx.
ReplyDeleteSharkbytes - Your deer did keep the idea of deer in my mind. Like I said, when I was writing the post, I was thinking of your window screen picture. The part about the hairless apes was from a guy I saw when I took my pictures. But yes, your picture was a great inspiration.
