Day of the dead 30

 How neatly the days line up.  I presume the day of the dead is a time when dead people can post.  I have been relegated to other areas, but a month has gone by and I have an audience to think about.  You need not worry, i will continue to post in my other blog.  I make an exception for the holiday as you continue to haunt me by night and day..

I am doing my part here, and I am not sure exactly what the meaning of all of this is.  You think it is easy to take a hard line of this for no reason, at least no reason where you matter?  There is another truth, it has nothing to do with you.

After 1700 yards yesterday with all the im, this dead person hiked 1.4 miles out to where there was one more drop before the next ridge, a ridge too far by just a bit given the heat of the day.  it will cool down more after today and it will be easier to do this the second time.

This was the target, the blue line, further away and to the right, the red line shows the peak.

Perhaps another half mile if I had chosen to go down into the ravine was this which may be an illusion or it may be the opening to a mine or something else.  Many things seem sinister and not as they appear today and this one appeared even under magnification, but as what?

It maybe easier to see just how large a gully separated me from the mine, but looking here it is more like a quarter mile, maybe that far down and back.  The dog and I will do it again and see when the temperature drops.

I would guess just off the map and perhaps a full mile to a mile and a half (given the gullies and climbs) would be the target ridge. I had water and a protein bar, but I think it would require, perhaps a little more planning. 

That is not true of the mysterious object in the photo; but when you are by yourself and headed into a gully off the ridge line which has provided the only guidance in terms of direction, well it looked like an object too far.  But there are many objects too far which I am after despite this.

I have the next round of grants to get ready, identified from those where I could not qualify and the documents I have to edit are well underway, although considering that there are now only 3 months left, it is daunting.  I am close to half way through the first set of edits with much to be drawn and written and considered.

There is so much that is wrong, so much that is impractical, so many places where others have gone aleady where I wonder if there is a place left; but i give myself no escape, i am committed for now as much as you are not..
