We did a short tandem ride out on 601 and 609 this morning. The places that were so torn up had been repaired. The road is now passable for autos. This is the first ride we've done without some kind of failure. I asked Bev if we should stop short of the truck and carry the bike a little while just for good luck. We don't need to tempt fate. So we got home in good time to do another little section of the split rail fence. I put in another 2 posts and put up the rails. The wind was blowing quite a bit today but no rain. The hole near the top had lots of rocks to dislodge. It will be the area closest to the lake that will be hard to dig. There is one section that might be almost all rocks.

David should have had a shot on the groundhog at the old house but forgot to check his ammo. The hammer fell on an empty chamber. I got the conibear traps out and caught one of the groundhogs that lived by the spring. David had ...
