    Colder or Older

    It's the older part you're feeling Stargazer. The older I get, the colder I get too. Try eating some "fuel" food like corn bread and beans. That'll warm you up for sure.

    A General Statement

    I love it dinosaur! You are absolutely right. If folks would just slow down, go fishing and relax for a while, there sure would be less trouble in the world. Love the picture!

    Favorite Caves For Exploring

    North Carolina has several famous caves. Linville Caverns comes to mind. That one has turned into a tourist attraction though. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable exploring an uncharted cave. I'd probably run into a bear. :)

    Ice in Texas

    That's just terrible. I caught it on the news but not the part about destroying cars. I do hope the woman's insurance will cover this. The burgundy one looked totally demolished.

    Weather Advisory for NY & PA

    We're under a winter storm warning here in the Appalachians. They're calling for an ice storm which is much worse than snow in my opinion. I just hope it goes through quickly and warms up enough to melt everything.

    Remember the 19 firefighters that died?

    The whole thing was a sad situation. Will the blame and the fine bring these guys back? They knew the risks going in and it is unfortunate that they lost their lives. Forest fires are quirky things when the wind gets involved.

    Artifacts and Relics

    As a kid, my friends and I used to roam the woods and fields during the summer. One particular field yielded up many arrowheads and pieces of pottery that we considered treasures. Some of those arrowheads are beautiful and appear to be in perfect shape. I can just imagine using one on the end...

    trail mix chips sub

    Trail Mix is good stuff and good for you if you don't eat too much. We generally use nuts, raisins and a few M & M's for sweetness. You are right Carmen. We can't keep it in the house.

    Hunting Tips For The Beginner

    Absolutely take a hunting safety class first. I would also recommend a mentor on your first trip. There have been too many stupid accidents not to be totally safe in the woods.

    Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Meal

    We just happened to be in New Orleans and Pensacola one year at Thanksgiving and ended up eating the best Thanksgiving dinner. We had baked, stuffed red snapper, oysters and shrimp. One of these days, I'm going to do that again.

    Snow - kids are ready to hike

    We used to do this when I was a kid. We couldn't wait to get out there and see what animals we could track. Most kids wouldn't do that today. They had rather stay in the house and play with their electronic devices.

    Spinning Ice Circle

    That's just weird Hikenhunter. Thanks for sharing. Since it's on a river, I'll bet is has something to do with the currents. Nature is a funny thing.

    Trophy Black Bear in Pennsylvania

    That's a big bear Hikenhunter. I'm glad you added the part about controlling the bear population. I'm not a hunter so killing any animal makes me sad. Even bears. :(

    Leg still hurting

    Sorry to hear about your injury. If your leg continues to give you trouble you may want to get it looked at. At least it will ease your mind if there's nothing wrong. It always does mine anyway. I walked around on a broken ankle for 3 weeks one time before I decided to go have it x-rayed...

    Venison or Turkey?

    I would love to have some venison for Thanksgiving this year but we don't have any in the freezer. We'll have to settle for the traditional store bought turkey. What are you having for Thanksgiving dinner?
