Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

My Attempt at an Event Map


I seriously cannot draw so i apologize to anyone who is unfortunate enough to see such a sorry attempt at doing so. That being said it was a really great sunny friday, an i was glad to have been able to get out and enjoy some peace and quiet in the woods, accompanied by the sounds of the forest. I tried to get them to sit next to each other, but it was being fussy, so follow the dashes on the second sheet on the left hand side of it to my spot. If you just click on the drawing you can see it much better.

Rainy Tuesday

Soo, not looking at the weather forecast over the weekend, i figured i would go into centennial during the week, because there are a lot less people, people being the only downfall to a spot in centennial. I did however visit lone rock point saturday evening, and although i didn't pinpoint Jenny's place i was most definitely within the vicinity, or walked right passed it (as i walked along the cliff face for a ways). Lets just say its a lot more beautiful than a hike into centennial in rain. Anyways, as i trekked in, mud everywhere (not to mention patches of deadly ice still), i finally got to my spot. No camera for the trip, as my friend would kill me if i got water on his SLR. Birds-silent. The area towards the bottom of my spot, towards the creek, has continued to fill with water, and soon it will be a complete marshy, swamp type area bordering the creek.  I then took off on a wild goose chase looking for Dan and Fed's spot. Again, i didnt find the center, but i definitely was quite close, and probably walked through parts of both their spots. I think i was closer to the mark for Dans spot, as its up on a ridge/hill. For Feds spot, i just couldn't find the exact fork in the path she was talking about, but i had looked at the map before and im sure i was close.  No wildlife today, but that was expected. I im going to take another visit as soon as the weather clears up, i'd like to spot some more birds and the like. Thats all for now!
