there are some mountain bike folks making wacky crazy trails in the backwoods in and around mt. bensen.. today i happened on one of these trails and found myself down towards the middle of westwood lake, but up much higher so as to get a good view looking down on the lake... the descent from this spot brought bell and i onto the power line that runs alongside westwood lake and of course morrell sanctuary a spot where we walk quite often.. it is amazing the amount of space and land untouched for the most part by the people that live in this area, but the mountain bike people have some committed friends doing things in the surrounding woods... i will have to ask rene if he found this trail as it's a good one! if i go again soon i will take my camera so that i can share a picture of some of what they do in the middle of nowhere..
now one of the things i like to do is bring my little h2 zoom recorder as i often find i can come up with melodies for future songs on these walks i do.. indeed i came back with about 3 ideas from this walk today.. now for the hard part - putting down on paper and making them into more then just fragmented ideas.. i have found myself coming up with many musical ideas off these walks and of course the fresh air and solitude are very beneficial too..i feel blessed to be involved as i am in all of this...
