sunday started out so balmy & mild that nick & i got a-hankering for an adventure of some sort... after a sunday afternoon nap, of course. oddly enough, taking a nap made the temperature drop 40 degrees. our spirits were not dampened by the weather, though, and off we went for our adventure.



sadly, our plans to traverse the underside of a cement bridge next to the tracks were thwarted by the untimely presence of a squad car within sight.
we had to settle for filching extra railroad spikes and pretending they were ancient tribal chisels that civilization exploited to bring in the iron horse.
