A duck and pelican nursery

Description

:

These ponds or sloughs are really a duck and pelican nursery but my mascot would be forgiven for thinking it was his tundra home. A gravel quarry makes a good place for a short rest stop. I inhaled the water from my bottle. From the ridge crest, looking down on the paved ribbon before me it looks every bit like making an approach, full flaps, into a lonely airstrip but my flight plan beckons me onward.
