Today’s down-and-back hike along the crest of Chatfield Dam was utterly unremarkable except for the following.
- My better half accompanied me. That’s always cause for celebration.
- Fishing and boating season is in full swing, so the scene on the water was definitely hopping. There was even one brave water-skier. Brrrr!
- We witnessed an aerial duel between a few raptors and some pelicans. The raptors – probably red-tailed hawks – did not seem to appreciate lumbering water-fowl invading their airspace. The bigger birds were quickly dispatched.
- We were passed by a peleton of spandex-clad bikers who seemed in a hurry for some reason. Relax, guys! It’s not a race! (Well, maybe for them it was.)
It’s already the 26th in Timor-Leste, so Happy 33rd to RGW.
