"The Road Less Traveled"

Robert Frost had it right....what might you miss if you don't take the road less traveled?
4 wheelin' in our Jeep yesterday took us on quite the thrilling ride! Lucky for me, Henry is an excellent driver. (I would have been out of that vehicle if anyone else had been driving.) Careful placement of tires, good articulation and no problem! I admit I was hanging on pretty tight in a couple spots, but it was exciting.

After dinner, we went for a walk on 'the road less traveled', and about 1/4 mile into our walk, we spotted them. Three deer. A buck, a doe, and a fawn. We immediately stopped and remained completely silent. They in turn did the same. They just stood, looking intently at us, and 'listening.' After a bit, they must have decided we were of no threat, and they turned and slowly walked away, but not without an occasional stop and glance back at us...dad taking the lead, then mom, and of course the fawn right behind. What a special treat!
