A hike to a local Mount took an unexpected detour Saturday for doughnuts. Meh. These things happen. A jaunt to a local doughnut place took an unexpected detour for a water fall. Meh. These things happen. A step down to the river took an unexpected detour to my ass. Meh. These things happen.
Not one of my more graceful moments. But alas, I was the only one laughing as no one else saw it. Blasted! Because really, at that point I was someone laying on the ground by a river in a puddle laughing with NO ONE around. I could probably say something about a tree falling in the woods making no sound, but I'll restrain myself. One thing is for certain though, I have a pretty wicked bruise on my hip and my favorite pair of finders-keepers sunglasses didn't survive the fall... brawl, crawl, drawl, maul, Gaul, scrawl... Right-O. Apologies. Apparently the head didn't fair to well either? No no, every thing is in working order. I promise, Ma.
There was another detour on the way home. Who really wants to go back the way they came? Honestly? Let's just say we tooled around some nicely paved (and cleared of windfall trees) Forrest Service road. As a result we ended up at the crossroads of Deadwood and Deadwood. You really can't make this up, people. Deadwood and Deadwood.
Anyhoo, hope everyone had a pleasant end of week.

Detours are the best part of any trip! Glad you had fun.
It would've have been memorable, or such a fancy pants (literally) photo spread on your blog, if "these things" didn't happen right? Sounds like a very E kinda trip.
Long live the country drive!
Excellent! So fitting!
This sounds like fun. (And reminds me a little of Stephen King's Mrs. Todd's Shortcuts - I think you would enjoy it if you haven't read it.)
I enjoy your photographic skills, but your photo of the shorts goes beyond what I imagined possible. How did you get that shot?
Ah, Dolce Vita! I got the shot of my shorts with ease because I work very hard at perfecting my ass shots! Practice, practice, practice. One never knows when they'll come in handy!
Ah, yeah. That picture was a simple over the shoulder maneuver. ;-)
Hummmm..too much information...
