the River Reflecting

Went down a little further at the turnaround than usual to get a scope of the landscape.

Watched and listened to the river below. The sound was lower from up here, but running river still spoke. I thought back to last winter and the scenes ran through my head like a slide show.

I wasn't looking forward to the bitter cold and missing the sounds of Summer hushed by the layers of snow and ice, but waiting for the Spring and Summer is worth the scenery.

Soon this road will be muddy, too muddy and then covered by snow and more and more snow. It will be nearly impassable, expect by four wheel drive or snowmobile. For now I will count the days I can ride my bike and be glad for the opportunity.

I thought about how lucky I was to get another riding day in on the way home.
