Z Bend and Nature's window

Today I went for a ride out to the National Park. I will stop stating that it is windy. It is always windy. It is a motorbike after all.

First off I stopped at the lookout over the town. That's pretty much a complete summary of what it was. I took some photos and on the way back to the bike an older lady asked me "Isn't this special?" she must be from the west coast because it really was just a hill. It was the one I rolled down as a matter of fact. But hills here are special.

I kept going out to the park and had to stop to show the ranger my parks pass. I had my phone in one pocket and my vape in the other, both connected to the bike to charge. He noticed the wires and I told him I'm a suicide bomber. He thought that was the funniest thing ever and started tell me about how the Chinese aren't very good drivers. I didn't really understand the connection.

I got to the Z Bend. It is a gorge that bends in the shape of an S but with sharp corners. I know you're thinking that's a Z, but it isn't. It is backwards. If we just start doing all our letters backwards the kindergartners win.

Next stop was nature's window. It is a hole in a rock atop the edge of the gorge. I arrived to find it had been left open and was letting all the flies in. It was quite a good view, although one moron decided to seek shade right inside it without any consideration for the half dozen people trying to take a photo. Word is he's a bad driver.

He moved when asked and I took the obligatory photo. There was a loop walk that looked like it would be really good. But it was 9km and I'd already acquired about 30 flies (this is not an exaggeration). On the walk back to the bike I took a little survey of how many flies other people had and I had far more than them. Some people had none. In some cultures that would make me a winner. I'm not sure which ones but there'd be one I reckon.

Just wear a hat. 

Back at the bike when I got my gear out my fly tally jumped by a lot. It would've been over 100. My gear stinks quite bad.

I came back and tonight I attempted to cook potato's, corn and lamb. I took HOURS. The gas cookers are really bad here. It was worthwhile though because I'd lost my fork again so it was a good opportunity to acquire another one.

I'm still here tomorrow. I'm feeling like garbage. I don't know if it is the weather turning a bit cold or if I'm a bit run down or if I'm getting sick. So I won't be doing much.
