On the Road to Somewhere

these cables had a nice touch to the general composition of the picture

After a minor accident on an ATV with my son, I was stuck on this road for a long time while waiting to for rescue. The ATV had caught on fire in a most inappropriate place, but it was still a fun time while waiting around for rescue. Fortunately, the camera and tripod were uninjured. While waiting, sunset rolled around and it occurred to me that there are worse things in life than this!
