Pinto Creek hike? or wading?

A day like this will not happen in North Dakota for at least three months.  The sun is up warm and shinning.  Open the door and walk into what would be a summer morning in North Dakota.  Today The Commander is planning an assault on Pinto Creek.  Yesterday The Commander set out on her own to find an Indian ruin.  Her attempt failed and she blamed Kadizzle when she got cliffed on the way back.  Kadizzle apparently failed to have the proper maps on The Commander's GPS

We took Gary to the big shopping center of Pumpkin Center yesterday.  Gary is temporarily broke so he was going to sit in the truck while the Kadizzles shopped.  After some prodding Kadizzle got Gary to take twenty dollars and shop.  Gary insisted he get our address to send the money back to us.  Gary bought the essentials in life,  a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, some cigarettes, and a couple bags of ice.  With just six teeth Gary is limited in his food choices.

Later in the day when Kadizzle returned on his cycle from hauling The Commander into the mountains he noticed Gary in the front of his truck doing something.  Shortly Gary came over to our site.  Gary said he wanted to give us some of the treasures from his dashboard museum.  Gary said it would give us a start on our own museum.  So now we have a trilobite,  some amber,  magnetite,  a sharks tooth,  several shells,  petrified wood,  and some gem from Australia.  This was Gary's way of thanking us for the grub stake we had provided until the Social Security check gets here.   Our plan is to donate our mini museum to our gran daughter Sylvie who is looking forward to her special birthday present.  She will love the trilobite.

Waiting for The Commander to return from her hike Gary and Kadizzle sat in the shade, drank a beer, and Kadizzle sneaked a Swisher Sweet.   Discussing the universe and philosophy Kadizzle was frightened when he realized how much he and Gary agreed on the state of the universe.

Well The Commander is fueling herself with cereal and studying a map.  This can lead to nothing good.  In few moments The Commander will jump up crack the whip and declare all sorts of things have to be done in preparation for our assault on Pinto Creek.   If Kadizzle's research is correct the hike will involve a lot of wading in the creek.   Hope the creek is warm.   So here we go, light the fuse and the day will start.
