My Adventure Bunny wasn’t always... He came into my life long enough ago, that I don’t actually remember. In fact, looking for early images of adventure bunny, I realized that the first years of him are on film, and therefore inaccessible for the purposes of this post.
Suffice to say, upon his entry into my life, I found that he made an excellent travel companion. Due to his cottony attributes, he was excellent for mopping up sweat in warm climes and always willing to serve as pillow/drool catcher on long car, train, bus, plane rides. He never shirked his duty in photos, always ready to pose (even if he was a bit limp about it at times). Best of all, he was, and is 100% machine washable. The world is a dirty place, and it’s very important for an Adventure Companion to know how to clean up.
When my travels began to take me to the higher places, my Adventure Bunny found himself hauled along for the ride
After the first few trips, I started insisting that he start carrying his load, so he opted to start carrying the chalk.
I started going longer and higher than we’d ever been, and my Adventure Bunny got scared. But I never let him stay behind, and even though he tucks himself in a comparably safe place. He still carries the chalk, and I still drag him along, hauling him up wherever I find myself. He scares easily, so he stays hidden more often than not. So Bunny, what’s up for today?
It’s a gray start, not the earliest, but we’ll have plenty of time…
A quick stop to pick up some gear to make the day go easier. Nothing quite like the right gear!
Hey Hula Boy, you’ve met bunny, but you scare him. So howzit goin’ ? Sure is way sunnier than where we started this morning
Here? We’re here? Hey man, you know that parking lots with bathrooms generally have required fees? Oh, you’re paying, gotcha. Watch the van for us Hula Boy?
Whoa Bunny, usually we’re not supposed to cross these kinds of gates…
Hey Bunny, the beta says follow the obvious use trail…which way do we go?
Ok Bunny, I think I see the ‘obvious use trail’. Do you?
Bingo! I think we’ve found our objective, now we gotta get down to business!
Whoa Bunny, don’t get distracted!!!
Hey Bunny, is this the way it’s done? It doesn’t look like the way I did it last time…oh MAN, we’re gunna DIE!!
Why you giving me that look? You feelin’ a little stressed? Too bad, you got some chalk to haul.
Talk about a dangling modifier…sure is a lot to dangle betwixt the legs!!
Doesn’t it look like a walk in the park?
Not dangling anymore…hey Bunny, you look anxious, we gunna die?
When in doubt, test it out!!
It’s working so far…
We didn’t die…yet!
Time for a break. It’s been a stressful few weeks, and I’ve been subsisting on pastry and salads. I’ll take the pastry, you take the salad Bunny, fair play?
What did I tell you about not getting distracted?!
Managed to keep the yard sale tidy and stowed away. Time to boogie…
Til next time
Thanks for all the support folks…and giving this a read!
Cheers

Nice write up LS. Great looking crack. Whats bunnies handle on ST? Wuz wonderin if he has a different opinion on the trip and wuz gonna toss you undr da bus. :-)
Bunny: "Dis bitch grabs me by da fur and crams me in a sac full of da white powder. Horrified, I couldn't breathe - kidnapped. It wuz going full Kyrgyzstan and I wuz gonna have to push her off if I was to survive" ............
Along those lines.

Why would you DO THAT Dingus?!?!?!!!
I know of at least 7 different times Bunny has shared chalk with you, and saved your ass on lead.
You could at least make him look better in your pics for heaven's sake.
Bunny, never fear, stick with the plan... ;)
Cheers!

of course, we have to survive to collect...

East Oakland Maaaan...
It's a whole different world over there...

I'll say that Dingus didn't have to make Bunny look so miserable. Sheesh, I know Bunny is showing his miles, but GEEEEZ!!!
Thanks for reading folks and sharing, have a great one!
