We had massive amounts of rain 4 days ago. The trail I walk has extensive sections under water. My 14 inch high wellies are good enough to get through even with pull holes 2 inches lower on both sides. Saw 11 deer today including this one which I walked past within 8 feet. Haven't seen the flock of 10 turkeys for a while. It followed me for the next half mile.In dry weather I can get thru this loop in 1 hour, about 7,000 steps

| Trail is on left side of picture. I chainsawed that log to clear the path. |

| Followed me even though the water. Tree on right luckily did not block the trail when it fell. |

| That is the trail, I use a diamond willow walking stick to steady myself and help pull my boots out of the sucking mud. This stretch of trail has 5 14 inch plus logs I had to cut through in drier weather. |
Dean. Impressive that you can walk so well on uneven surfaces and in muddy areas as well !
ReplyDeleteFunny term for traversing streams when I was growing up in Ohio an insult was to call someone a creek bather to denote low education.
Keep up the good. Look forward to your comments & critiques.
