When you ride longer every day it’s hard to find time to blog. Plus there’s been some sections with A paucity of Internet connections.

I’ll just include a couple of photos from the road for example my last nights camping spot along a creek. Still a lot of warnings about grizzly bears so I have to hang my food every night here’s a photo of the food bag hanging in a tree 25 feet up.

Just read this blog item which shames my blog :
One more follow-up regarding the connection between clear thinking and clear writing: Orwell’s famous essay, Politics and the English Language:

A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: Could I put it more shortly? Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you — even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent — and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself. It is at this point that the special connection between politics and the debasement of language becomes clear.
