Ground Reconnaissance

I tested the horizontal support rail beneath my boots before initiating the descent from the cedar post summit. Having logged weeks of stationary observation from the timber cap, the lower perimeter required direct physical reconnaissance. Maintaining a calculated three-point grip along the weathered wood fissures, I climbed down the vertical grain and swung past the lower rail. The final drop brought my boots firmly onto the cold aggregate of the driveway border. Flat against the asphalt seam lay an abandoned red carpenter's pencil, thick and octagonal. Sighting down its straight wooden edge, the vast concrete expanse opened into an unmapped sector.#X-men #Cyclops #buddies @americansamurai
