Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

Good afternoon Guardians! It's a hot Friday around here. Not sure how many more of these we'll get this year so trying to enjoy it. :cool: 5 o'clock can't come soon enough!

I walked four more miles on the Dakota Rail Trail today, covering miles 2 through 4. It was mostly cloudy, but the sun kept peeking out every so often. It’s also unseasonably cool here, with a high of only 59° today, though it looks like it’ll warm back up into the 70s next week.

One of my favorite things about this trail (when it’s warm and sunny out, rather than cool and overcast, that is) is how much natural shade some parts of it have.

The section of trail I walked today goes between Orono and Minnetonka Beach, both small communities on Lake Minnetonka. I’ve learned it’s best not to look up the values of houses in this area. 😳🤣

Because it was built on an old railroad bed, the trail crosses several old trestle bridges. Most of them are fairly small, but I think this one, Arcola Bridge, might be the longest at around 550 feet.

I would have taken some pictures of the lake, but it was seriously windy as I crossed the bridge — I had to take my hat off and stuff it in my back pocket to keep from losing it — so I didn’t hang around too long. I did get one quick snap of the Lambsfoot I had with me, though.

That looks like some great country Barrett. Keep those walks up.

Nice shot of your '19 👍

Your GL-24 is looking good. Are you cooking up anything tasty with those pellets?

Thanks, Steve, but that’s actually a different knife. I believe it was a short run Jack had done in Indonesian Rosewood, so while it was a Jack Black Jack Black exclusive, it wasn’t one of the annual Guardians knives.
 
I decided to put this old Gal in my pocket today. My first day out venturing after being stuck inside with a bad dose of the lurgy, it always hits me in my Lungs big time!

Herbert Robinson, Sheffield. This thing is sharp after a little stropping 😱

Have the best day folks. 😊👍IMG_4833.jpeg

Thank you Barrett. This is easily my most carried lamb, I just love it.

Your walks on the trail recently have brought back some very fond memories of when I was a kid and my parents took my brother and I on a bicycle ride somewhere near the Wisconsin/Minnesota state line. We were supposed to ride all day and stay the night then ride back the next day. I was very young so I can’t remember exactly where it was, but there was a cheese festival going on at our destination and subsequently there were no hotel rooms available. My dad had to ride all the way back that night to get the van and pick us up. We waited on a park bench outside a restaurant with my mom while my dad said he was chased several miles by a dog. 🤣

The memories you are creating will last a lifetime. 🙂

I totally forgot to answer this. 😵‍💫 I’m going to cook a couple steaks tomorrow for me and my wife. I usually cook two to three times a week on the pellet grill so I was really just stocking up on pellets.

Chicken wings have been my absolute favorite lately. I’m hoping to get the opportunity to cook some Monday night for the Bears game. 😉

I see it now, the bolster should have clued me in. Very nice !
