Great color on this guy...

I now regret selling that bottle the next day at the Rochester, NY show. You can't keep them all I guess...Maybe I will find another next time we go back up that valley?

PD

We gathered up our gear and headed in....Here's a rare Penn Digger sighting on a bike!

 He was flying low the two miles in...I had a hard time keeping up...[]

Glad to see the Training Wheels are off![sm=thumbup.gif]

Awesome that you guys use bikes!

Back in college I bicycled to quite a number of dumps. It saved gas and was good exercise and there was just something more "centering" and harmonious about biking to a dig spot, stashing the bike next to the hole, then loading up the pack and tools on the back and biking back home.

Hard to explain, but something about being outside in the fresh air the whole time, hearing the birds and smelling the smells and seeing the sights at a slower pace (versus the time being punctuated by being enclosed withing an unnatural vehicle, and going too fast to appreciate the little sights to be seen) made each dig feel much more "complete" and in-tune with the world, and thus much more satisfying and therapeutic.

Anyway, keep it up guys, and may you find the mother-load of pontiled wax sealers in an as-yet unfound cellar-hole! []

Thanks Stephen! Likewise to you,...the bikes DO make it more fun.
