stayed up till 3:30 working last night.. so started off the day pretty grumpy. Trying to get some stuff going for work and making slow steady progress… didn’t notice the time..

 

9:30 came pretty early.. but managed to get up anyway.  Gave cane by with friends george and noah.. they had a weird plan for putting on wet suits and jumping off things into cold water..

 

soundsed. funnish..

 

by 10ish diane, deb and the dogs and I were heading towards little river.. was pretty preoccupied by work.. but once there.. the beauty of fall took over.. we did about 4 miles up in the old rocker mountain settlment. Deb had never been. it was fiun showing her some of the old cellar holes, cemeteries etc.

we even saw some new stuff.. like an old silo be we’d never seen

 

the sawmill was our first stop.. so amazing to think that 300 folks worked here less than 100 years ago.. it’s pretty remote now 

 

there was a cool new geocasching thing in the old boiler. we put a smstone in there

 

this school was working until 1921.. now its just a rock celler hole

 

heres the old well.. dropped another samstone down.. i put one here every year

 

here’s the silo base.. i’d never seen that

 

phebe.. 100 years old.. wow !

 

spent the rest of the day (and night working) .. getting a little burned out..

thank goodness for getting outside !

nite all, nite sam
