Decided to hit the woods on the last day of 2013. A farewell send off of sorts. And a welcoming of a new year with new possibilities...
Entering the treeline
still some snow/ice left from over a week ago
this picture does nothing for proportion. This nest was huge. Never saw what was in it. It's the biggest one I've seen in Oklahoma
came across a small fatwood score. a dead pinelimb that had just enough to help with a fire.
after that hunger began to set in so it was time to make a camp
wood/camp chores
now it's a party
a happy kiddo
now time for meat
a good way to relax and take in the afternoon
I'm really digging these llbean boots. They are very light and comfortable. Felt like I was wearing house slippers all day.
after that we headed out of the trees and walked quite a spell on dirt road in hopes of spotting a deer. No deer but we did take in the sunset through the trees. Which is always a treat.
thanks for looking
I wondered if you built that fire on duff or mineral earth? Couldn't tell clearly from the photo.
ReplyDeleteIt was built on a creek bed runoff area. Ground was pretty damp.
DeleteGreat trip report! Here's a little tip, though (regarding the second picture): Underwear usually goes INSIDE your pants. jk ;)
