weather was gorgeous yesterday afternoon for an hour drive north of town. headed to a remote secluded cove with beach access through forested area. tide was on its way back up, no wind.
silence was a bit erie, could hear birds cry out across the cove while getting undressed. walked into the water...
air temp 0°c, water 5°c
sinners prayer, body relaxes, noticed a seal spying on me from 30 yards out. turn to watch the tree line along the beach, a few red squirrels darting about eating pine nuts.
after about 7 mins started to shiver, time to leave calming waters. while drying off flock marine birds took flight, then I heard distance whine of engines. hiked back through forest towards my parked vehicle. engine noise got louder.
two or three ATV's were doing circles at far end of the cove. while warming up in my car noticed that ATV flipped on its side rolled towards the water.
silence descended on the cove.
driver stubbled out of the rig, then pulled the passenger out.
passenger was pretty dazed collapsed on sand holding an arm. the driver walked around assessing the damage, wondering how to upright the ATV. they both started the long walk back to the parking area. by then the other ATVs showed up to assist.
time for the long drive back to town, the hot tea hit the spot. out of radio and cell range, quiet ride...silence finds a way.
[for some reason unable to upload photos, not sure why. too bad had some awesome pics]
