Hyrulian Hero

See that road off in the distance? I saw this cave from there and we had to go up. My two boys and I hiked for about 5 hours all together and made it all the way up here. If ever you come out to see Rushmore, I'll point the cave out to you, it's a great hike.

When you replace the old pavers with slate and hide the Golden Power from Ganondorf.

Driving out to the agate show the other day and had to turn around in the middle of the road to get a picture of this. I'm imagining jawas the size of piccori.

It's been waiting for me for so long and today, I pulled it out of the ground. Happy Father's Day.

While rockhounding this week, I found out that shrikes apparently live all over North America.

I was heading out for a short hike in the woods close to home today when I heard the 1880's train (a stream engine that runs people from my town to a nearby town as kind of a tourist thing in the Black Hills). By the time I got to the crossing, the train was almost there so I waited for it to pass. All of the tourists on the train smiled and waved as the train passed and some even took pictures. Can't imagine why.

My workspace today.

Started a new endeavor called TEARS (Tactical Elusion And Reconnaissance Simulation) open to the lan party boys. Each round took around an hour and one of the dudes had a DJI Mini Pro drone. I spent three weeks building a ghillie suit and hid successfully. Our play area was around 4-5 acres and was composed of mostly ponderosa, aspen/birch forest, some high prairie, and some spruce groves. It was a great time and we're definitely doing it again before game night next time. Got a picture of this dude before he realized I found him.

Awesome time with the family today. First time harvesting birch sap.

I don't know why I do the things I do.

What the heck happened to Zelda special edition gold? Not even my BotW Master Edition cart is gold! It used to be something really special about Zelda and now Nintendo seems to have forgotten about it. The last one I can think of is probably the Skyward Sword 25th anniversary box which was...shiny I guess? There was a gold DS for Spirit tracks I think it was, I guess that kind of counts. Still, where is my gold Switch cart??

My wife made me some liquid-courage today.

In the hills this morning.

Weaving History: exactly the way I've seen the Legends of Zelda. "As the stories and storytellers of Hyrule change, so, too, does its history." I consider this the correct way to look at the "timeline".
