“Fairy Fingers”

Hiked out at night and spotted a huge patch of these on a fern-covered roadbank. Eerie.

Hiking went well, hammocking did not. Did not get eaten by a bear though.

Off to the woods today to see whether I remember how to hammock camp. And to hope the bears don’t mistake me for a burrito.

MR Separation Fire. 2017, 18,097 acres. South Sister rises above the burned area.

I suspect there would be far less support for the death penalty if the executioner were chosen by lot from the general populace. Same way that there would be fewer meat-eaters if you could only legally eat an animal you slaughtered yourself.

Not-so-wild turkey.

Some species of jelly cone (I think) growing on a burnt log.
