This week on Saturday, we went and got sand for a new walkway in our backyard. We got the aforementioned sand from a creekbed out in the country. Yes, we shoveled sand from a dry creekbed out in the middle of no where. No sense in hitting up the 'ol Home Depot or Lowe's, let's just take it from our local river. Why pay for something that's only a twenty minute drive out of town, right? Yeah. It's totally not awkward when people drive by and stare. I'm sure those confused looks are just them wondering, "Why didn't I think of that brilliant idea? Those kids standing out in the middle of a riverbed shovelling sand are so much smarter than I am. Or perhaps it's their genius father who thinks spending money is a crime or something."

Grasshopper,
The trip to Lowes is 20 minutes if you speed and the creek bed is 10 max. The creek is called Mehrten Creek. True Urban Hobos spend as little time in a car as possible.
