Whilst Woodsploring

In the Redmond Watershed with Tom, treasures! Somebody had chopped down an old yew tree for some unfathomable reason or another and had left its corpse behind. Yew is a fucking sweet wood - it's super flexible while remaining very strong, making it a choice wood for this area's indigenous, apparently. Thus, after much hacking and swearing we salvaged limbs to make our own bows (naturally. You're more than welcome to grow up on your own if you'd like). It was fun exploring in a wooded area I haven't ever been before - we found a smattering of bear sign (but no bears) and lots of cool feathers.
