So, life has commanded me to slow down. It did this via a workplace injury. Looking at large volumes of my own blood leaving my body is an interesting experience. Even though it's interesting, this is not the platform to tell this story haha. This weekend I had planned to head north to hunt a trig sitting alone on a mountain but life said no, you can finally visit one close to your current base. In fact, this one is only a few minutes away from my current base and it's been on my to-visit list for a long time. Let's do it. It was raining which never concerns me but it did remind me how annoying it is to use an iPhone when it's wet! The trig was easily found and the mark is in good condition with a nice Broad Arrow on it. Thanks for the cache Smile
