After Elbow Falls

A recent ramble with Sean started at Elbow Falls. From there we went down to Diamond Valley (Black Diamond, if you hadn't heard about the name change.) to check out the Sheep River just north of town. Neither of us had been there before and I'm not sure it's worth another visit. We did not walk on the ice.

We stopped for lunch in the Longview Saloon. OK food, and a friendly waitress. We waved to Dave in the Flic Film store, but didn't stop.

6. From there we headed south to Chain Lakes. We were astonished to see people still driving on the ice after all the warm weather we've had. I'm sure that somewhere there is a way to know if it's safe. I was thinking of the scene in American Gods where people from a local town put a wrecked car on the ice, and have a pool on when it goes under.

8. The light was kind of odd, and I was exploring it a bit, looking for abstracts in the ice. Other than this one, nothing worth posting.
