Shave: From the artisan

“Finding the way when traveling.  When I was younger, we would go backpacking in the Colorado Rockies!  We would explore every National Park that we could, and pick a new place every year. There is something about the mountains, rivers, and lakes that just bring a calmness to the hectic world!   A Cairn can be used for navigation when you stack rocks (see them in the label) in a way where it's largest rock on the bottom, then smaller ones on top.  This is to show your path so others can follow, and you can find your way back. I would use them when we reached the lakes and rivers that we went fishing at.  To mark the occasion and say to the wilderness that I was there! Pasteur's reached out and wanted to collaborate and make something special.  With this release we went for an aquatic that brings peace to the mind, and calmness to your shave!.  Scent notes:  Bergamot, Lemon, Jasmine, Pineapple, Cedar, Ozone, Sandalwood.  it's a clean, grassy aquatic!”

Challenge: As stated above a Cairn is a human-made pile (or stack) of stones raised for a purpose, usually as a marker or as a burial mound.

In the spirit of the challenge I found my nearest stone and shaved atop it. I did not kill or bury anything but I am trying my darnest to kill this splash. It has been overcast the past few days here which has been a thankful respite from the relenting Texas summer heat.

I could have used the water from the pictured “pond” but pretty sure it’s sewer water and filled with turtle shit, so I just brought a spray bottle.
