Diane and I managed to get out a few times today..nice longer run this morning.. then a hike in the woods this afternoon. it was our first trying to use a GPS (my phone actually) to look for a hidden pond we know is lurking somewhere up on the side of the Camels Hump Ridge. We&#8217;d never used a GPS for bushwhacking off trail . It was really fun.\u00a0 there were even soem hints of the first fall color.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0312\/IMG_5206.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0312\/IMG_5204.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>in the end, we gave up trying to figure out where the pond was, because we found something even cooler. We came across a big road logging road tails up on the ridge that we&#8217;d never seen.. and that don&#8217;t appear on any maps. The road was wide, recently graded and the brush was freshly cut on the edges.. but we just cant figure out how anyone would get a tractor in there, let alone a loaded logging truck. It would be like finding an empty interstate in the middle of a desert.. Next weekend we&#8217;re going to go up there and see if we can figure out where the entrance is.. I suspect its on the other side of the ridge in huntington. maybe off of Happy Hollow road.. but.. that seems unlikely.. but.. where else could it go ?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0312\/IMG_5207.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0312\/IMG_5208.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>we used the GPS to find our way back through the steep brush.. it was fun.. and hard work.. The girls needed a drink by the time we got back. Note their spiffy orange colors. It&#8217;s bear season now.. and we don&#8217;t want to take chances.. there&#8217;s a re a ton of bear these days up there.. I hope they all lay low for a few weeks..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i147.photobucket.com\/albums\/r319\/johncohn\/sep0312\/IMG_5213.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ok.. gotta get up early tomorrow.. so I&#8217;ll end here..<\/p>\n<p>oh wait..\u00a0\u00a0 one more thing: The good folks at Zombie Tech <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zombietech.tv\/2012\/08\/30\/zombie-tech-episode-052-this-year-with-john-cohn\/\" target=\"_blank\">interviewed me<\/a> last week.
