Well, we are sitting around waiting out Horndog's machete uploads, so in between his posts you can look at some greenery!

Found a nice little bit of forest tucked away in the county today that I never went to before. This one is really discrete and not overly visited much. Would be a great place for a little gorilla camping. Great mixture of woods including beech, oak, hickory and a tonne of basswood. I never seen so much basswood around my parts before!
