Icy Trail - Sit Spot #1122 - February 23, 2022

In a kind of reverse way

this icy trail reminds me

of a dusty hot rutted road in Kenya back in 1992.

The road was in such a condition

that our truck drove on the land beside the road

instead of on the road to be more safe.

Better today off the trail too.
