Great Outdoors

Tore off from the green circle to chase after a fawn. They're still slow and uncertain, so I had a decent chance of catching him. Something I always wanted to do. Not today.

As with any 20 yard stretch through the woods, I did find a deadfall big enough to send me over the bars. Onto my face. Hey that's different - I usually manage to tuck and roll. I decided to take some time to make sure I wasn't hurt - well too badly. Put the lens back into my glasses. Then DAMN. What have I done to myself? DAMN again. Ohhhhh great. I'm sitting on a ground wasp nest. Grab the bike, swat with the free hand and run. Got about 10 stings.

Had to let them calm down before I could get my glasses and water bottle. A little swelling, little bleeding, not bad. Next time, I'm staying on the trail.
