A welcome only birds can give - Josh

While it may not look like much, this 10' x 10' canopy on a platform took a full day to construct (so I'm not just a tent dweller, but I'm a slow one...). At dusk, overcome by joy at our success, local birds sang and anointed liberally. It was reminiscent of a melodramatic movie moment - pointy birds anointing things.

Come May 13th, this will be my home away from home. With approximately half my nights spent here, my five gallon camp shower and five gallon bucket lid (not pictured here) will be luxuries.
