We had an exciting morning and, if all goes well,

We got out of the house early to drive up to the lake. We were scouting a spot for a friend and we stopped on the way back so Summit and Gretel could run around on the beach a bit. . We were looking for a landing spot for my friend's amphibious airplane - it's a plane and a boat 😁 The conditions have to right for him to fly and land so it might not work out today.

Is it hot where you're at? . It's going to be 80-9

That's too hot for all-day hikes. Looks like we may be sticking to short walks in the cooler mornings or evenings and playing at the beach during the day. . I said goodbye to the Sony 70-200mm f2.8 lens yesterday and said hello to two 24-70mm f2.8 lenses - the Sony GM version AND the Sigma Art version.

We headed up to this spot for sunset the other nig

<img src="https://youdidwhatwithyourweiner.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="We headed up to this spot for sunset the other night. I went our usual way but State Patroll had the road blocked off. I stopped to ask if it was because of the pandemic (certain forest areas are still closed in our state and I thought this might be one). He said no. They were looking for someone. . I asked if we could get there the back way. I said I didn't want to interfere with whatever they had going on or get in the middle of something dangerous. He said it was fine so I turned around and we took the back way in along a 17-mile dirt road. . At the last junction before this lookout - the other end of the road we initially tried to come up - we saw another police barricade. That wasn't the way we needed to go though so we went on by. . That barricade wasn't there on the way out so I tried to take the short way to the highway. I ran into about 4-5 patrol cars, a big tow truck, and some kind of box truck (it was dark so I couldn't see) about a mile down the road. It looked like maybe they were all off the road enough that I could squeeze past but I didn't want to chance it or interfere so I turned around and drove out 17 miles again. . When I got home, I found out the activity was a manhunt for a guy likely involved in a homicide 😲😬 He is still on the list as of this morning. . What's the strangest or craziest thing you've ever encountered on an adventure? . Check out our stories to see my final verdict on the Sony 70-200 mm f2.8 lens.">
