November 22nd
Monday morning and yep, that’s ice on the window of the rig. Ice on the windows, ice on the trees and ice on the road. All this waiting, diligently marking “X’s” and now we’re stymied by a little ice. One sixteenth of an inch of ice holds back this twelve thousand pound, six wheeled road schooner? So it goes.
The sun refuses to shine, unable to find it way through the thick clouds, but the temperature rises a few degrees, just enough to allow the road salt to do it’s melting magic and in turn sends the rig rolling down Little Finland Rd to Jackie‘s place in Crystal Falls. The motor hums and for the first time in seven months “The Wanch” is once again rocking down the highway to the tune of Willie’s , “On The Road Again.”
November, the moon of “Ice on the Teepee.”
