Found a new Lost Road today and saw the area around Latrun from another perspective. Did go through 5 bottles of water and had to make one stop on the way back to the car to get needed water/Orange Juice as I was running dry. Good to be out in the hills and trees this morning and even was able to avoid the many riders who were out in their packs.

Thought about how angry the Islamic world is with the Pope, especially here in the Middle East (two attempts to burn churches in the W. B. last night), when this is the most fertile grounds for the Protocols of Zion. I wonder if their hypocrisy is evident to themselves?
