Miss A, my Beloved, and myself went to the Austin Maker's Fair this weekend. I was not disappointed because it was as I expected but not as good as I hoped. I learned some things about building a travel trailer that were very cool. I watched a paper making demonstration that did not use authentic tools so the process was streamlined. I talked to a wood block printer. Something I want to do but have not made the time to do it. Part of that is I have not drawn something I like well enough to print.
My Beloved and myself did our first bit of primitive camping. I have not primitive camped in much too long. This was only a mile walk into the site and there was an outhouse. The only reason that you might have wanted to call it a hike would be because as soon as you put that backpack on it becomes harder then just a mer walk. The setup for a hike in is better then it was but it still not perfect. I lost some skin on a shoulder and there are a few aches and pains.
But can I say this? I liked the primitive site. You are not as on top of each other as in the regular campground. And the regular campground is much better then a KOA. There can be no open flame at this state park but it was not December or January so a fire was not a necessity. I really enjoyed myself. I might actually chose to stay there more often.
The conclusion from my weekend. Not much inspiration but a nice change of pace. Most of what I am working on is long projects so I will have to see what I have to say this week. The destruction sweater is about ten inches long. My hands are a little tired. It is always so hard to come back from the "woods."
