A Two Hike Day.

[Big Mike]

No work today gave me plenty of time to spend in the woods.

In the morning I hiked to a hidden lean-to, built a fire and enjoyed the morning sunlight.

After lunch I headed out to a different spot.

Back on the trail a spotted what the coyotes where having for lunch and saw some hairy scat with little bones in it.

I headed down to the River’s Edge and built another little fire as the sun set over the ridge.

The dogs and I got back to the trail-head just as darkness settled in.

All in all it was a great day.



I highly recommend a day in the woods as a cure for what ails ya. :thumbup:

Looks like a great day Mike, well except I think that deer would disagree

Looks like the Turkey Vultures or crows got to that carcass also being the eyes are pecked out. Nasty...

Good little spot you got there Mike ... looks like a nice place to get away to :thumbup:

Did you build the lean-to ?

 

[Big Mike]

Did you build the lean-to ?

We built that lean-to back in the end of the last millennium.

There had been some logging in the area, and we used a bunch of Hemlocks that has been knocked down be the heavy equipment.

The main structure is still in pretty good shape. :thumbup:


Few people know its location.
