Glad to reach the old Iron Age fort and set up camp. First job, brew up on my old army mess tins!
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.
A lonely wild flower I found on a hill overlooking a soybean field. It is located (until the next hard freeze) on then Smith Mills-Uniontown Road (gravel road connecting the two Kentucky towns) by itself. A nice surprise on this chilly autumn/fall day. This road is also known as Burbank Road (probably a farming family name). Please [View On White] and/or [View On Black]

Century Farms and Small Town Charm Along The Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County Oregon
Spent a beautiful early summer day exploring small towns and century farms along the Elkhorn Scenic Byway in Baker County. Baker County is home to more than two dozen Oregon Century Farms and Ranches and the Elkhorn Scenic Byway and back roads along the way, are a great way to explore this working landscape of the American West.
Small towns along the way like Haines and Baker City offer visitors a glimpse at small town Americana at its best.
This scenic byway circles through the Elkhorn mountains of Northeast Oregon beginning and ending in Baker City and passing through small towns like Sumpter, Granite, and Haines. The drive is incredibly scenic with wide open panoramic views across the Baker valley, high alpine forests, and following pristine rivers and creeks along the way. In the winter Anthony Lakes is home to Oregon's highest base elevation ski resort. In the summer the pristine alpine lake is a fishing and camping destination.

As my friend and I were hiking to a lake in Interlaken, we passed by this group dressed in traditional Swiss outfits and practicing playing alphorn in a random field.
A vast field of sunflowers greet the warming morning sunlight on a farm in the northern California Suisun (soo-soon) Valley; it's an area prized for its rich farmland and excellent weather, with many wine-producing vineyards.

Once a massive and beautifully constructed public pool/convention hall/spa, the Sutro Baths now lies in ruins.
But luckily, the city of San Francisco has made it available for public exploration. We were quite surprised that you can climb all around it. How lovely.
Google the Sutro Baths to see just how amazing they once were.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is off the beaten path but worth the side trip. This state park is located between Mount Carmel Jct. and Kanab, Utah.
The pink sand is courtest of Navavjo Sandstone from the middle Jurassic geologic period. The same iron oxides and minerals that created the red rock country also contribute to this coral sand color.
If you hit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes at the right time of year, you can see where snow has accumulated and melted to create ponds of water upon the sand.

Big Horn Sheep in Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful Fall day exploring the Burnt River Canyon and watching wildlife between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep in rut during this trip
