..... in the Canadian back country.

Was out for a dualsport ride on a beautiful sunny Autumn Saturday last weekend on the XR650. Funny grinding noises from the back of the bike all through the ride turned out to be a collapsed rear wheel bearing, but that's another story.

I was a fedex home delivery contractor for a while here in the sticks of south west "misery" for a while.  I did a 300 mile a day rural route through parts of Mark Twain National forest and I delivered to people who lived in campers, tar paper shacks shingled with cut and flattened beer and soda cans, and even a couple tree houses (seriously).
There were other normal folk as well.
One day I found myself down a dead end road (trail) and when I got out I noticed as I walked my foot steps made an odd sound.  I couldn't see the ground because I had a box in my hands.
When I headed back to my van I could see the entire area around the house was a couple inches deep in spent shell casings.  Most of the trees were see through and old vehicles were riddled with holes.
Sorry no pic.

The kind of place where there aren't many branches on the people's family trees? Where the kids refer to the man of the house as Uncle Dad....??
