Had a weekend off...
First whole weekend off since school started. Wish the weather had been a little better, would have gone to the lake, but a little wind stirring in the trees and temps seeming like they might not get out of the 40s made me decide that it could possibly feel like the 30s on the water. Also the boat ramp we have been using was closed due to high water last time we tried to go so I spent a bit of time on the mower bagging a few leaves and dumping them in flower beds around the house.
Afternoon me and Cathy went for a hike on the 4-C trail in Davy Crockett National forest. He
re is the trail:
I think those camo coveralls have been her favorite get up this winter. She had been wearing Morgan's but at a post hunting season sale she bought her own. They were a little long in the leg, but Mo's had got a little short in the leg for him so they traded. Both feel like they got the better deal.
A different bridge here, check the sand river bottom in the background, swept clean by recent high water. We met a swamp ape and had him take the picture.
Saw several hunters. One was set up on the trail, we were on a long straight stretch and could see a log in the distance that looked like a good seat, but a guy with a rifle poked his head up about 70 yars away and so we turned around and went back. I thought hunting season was over. One group of two we saw walking on the road as we left had a rifle with a bipod set up, I guess you can hunt hogs or varmits year round. No one wearing hunter orange. I would have if I had known those guys were around.
Back home I took a picture of Mary and El Guapo being cute.
Also the big white dog graced us with his presence. Have not seen much of him since Christmas. He was just as fat and slick as could be. He must be living else where, but has not completely forgotton us.

Hmmm, drove right by the Ratcliff end of that trail on Saturday afternoon taking a friend to Crockett. Did you guys get on the trail from there?
We drove way down in the woods and got on it at the Big Slough Wilderness area.
Its been quite a while since I hiked or biked more than just the first couple of miles on either end of the 4Cs, but I thought those cool bridges were further in. Scary about the hunters!
