A fave from the road trip...

...that I forgot to tell you about. We went to see Melvin Bodden's art studio. Also his house. Also his chicken coop. Also his own private sewer system right outside his back door in a hole in the ground! Anthony had told us of a wood carver, who wondered when he was younger and working, what exactly he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to create something beautiful that came from his mind and from the land. So, he began to carve what he saw in his mind out of tree chunks. And paint. He took us into his home/studio to show us his work. Unbelievable!! It was an awesome experience. Wanted to show you a pic of Melvin and a piece of his work.....
Having trouble loading pics here in the boonies..........will try again later!

THIS was an adventure with a capital "A"!!
