I Love riding as the sun is setting
Generally I'll start looking for a spot after that
If I haven't already chosen via map

So this was a pretty cool place to camp!
Forgot the name of the park already but it's on a Lake!
The sun rise was perfect.
There are these special trees there that grow in the water!
Very cool park
Sneaking in at Night was cool too
Then seeing it in the Light
Awesome!
Awesome!
Good Morning!
If I haven't said it already
The Beautiful World
Really keeps me going

Showing off his Eagle Ghost Vision Technique

These Hawks are right next to the Eagle
They have regular spats about who's the better bird

When something just takes my breath away and I have to stop riding and just look at it for a minute and maybe take a picture.
If you remember this guy from the last post

The real trees at the park were cooler to see

That Blue elevator goes to the top and I hear there's a pretty cool view
But that's the sort of thing I'd rather enjoy with someone
So maybe I'll return to Memphis one day

RED LENTILS IN TURMERIC SAUCE!
JUSTIN SUPER TRAVELER COOKING LESSON 1!
RED LENTILS IN TURMERIC SAUCE!
First of all
After your fire burns a bit and you've got some embers
Keep some burning off to the side
And erect a little frame over some of the embers
With which to hold your pot!

When the water heats up again pour in some Turmeric
Also, don't forget to keep stoking your fire!

Yeah it should look like that
But mix it all in
And keep mixing now and then
Campfires aren't stoves
The heat will be very uneven
So stirring frequently is important
You'll have to add more water as it evaporates/is absorbed
Just keep adding more water in and boiling the lentils until they're ready to eat!

Glad I'm traveling with it now
I mixed a bunch in

Sleeping by the sound of running water is always really special
How do these little water craters form?
The water felt great
I forded the stream to explore the island!
There was a lot of Poison Ivy on the island
But it was still worth checking out

I carried the poor Butterfly to be to safety.

Magical Place:
Typically a place with many/vibrant colors
A place that people go to to find Solitude and/or Peace
A place that is important or special to people and is either a canvas or very Lovingly kept

I can relate.
One of the questions I get asked the most is
Where do you sleep?
I'll often just come upon a good spot as the sun sets
Or have a goal (like a park) selected via map and be heading to that
But Honestly a lot the time it's selected for me
Nice man I met named Phill who gave me water pointed me to this shed
So there ya go
Good Night!

Rode up to a Church to sleep
Just about to Picayune
Feeling pretty lonely and dark and down
When this little fella came on by!
Though I had a friend for the night but then...

Some dude starts yelling at me from across the street that I gotta get away from the church!
"Who am I talking to?"
This guy comes over all puffed up, "This is my church and we don't want no Freeloaders around"
"Sir I'm a traveler seeking sanctuary at God's door step"
"I don't care. If you don't move on I'll arrest you for vagrancy"
"Who am I speaking to sit?"
"It's Officer to you"
"My name is Justin. What is your name sir?"
"I'm Officer David ___ and I'm about to get my handcuffs"
"Is this what Jesus would do, David?"
"I am getting my handcuffs"
"You're going to run a man off into the night!?"
And as he turned to walk back to his home, I yelled
"SHAME!!"
Ended up sleeping in a park right behind his house
(As if chasing me off wasn't enough he called his cop buds in on me too.
After telling them of my travels, they pointed me there. Ha).
But I wrote him this letter and left it in his mailbox in the morning:

I've got business here dealing with the LAST time an officer on a power trip made some unfounded Judgement call upon me and decided to abuse his position of authority to mess up my night.

And I am thankful for that
I know that I'm Alive
Even if sometimes it doesn't make sense
