Day 23 already.

Did a walk with my girlfriend and daughter to one of the hills surrounding our town above the river. On three of them were old fortifications of the slavic people settling here 1500 years ago. This is one of them, an egg shaped wall and trench of about 50x150m. You can still see some holes in the ground about 5-6m in diameter from dug in houses of that era. The whole thing was abandoned about 1000 years ago when christianization started and a monastery was founded here, the town began to build, silver was found.

Lots of beechnuts to eat, and some chestnuts. Deer is sleeping here too. Many of small depressions with removed debris.

Of course

Day 22
Happy Thanksgiving to all of us in the United States.  Happy Thursday to the rest of you.  Getting ready for a feast here.  Had two smokers going and, at the time of the photo, getting ready to fire up the turkey fryer.  The menu included pork belly, two standing rib roasts, a duck, a fried turkey, ham, green beens, grilled asparagus with a coconut dressing, green been casserole, stuffing, mashed summer squash, potatoes with cheese, pumpkin and apple pies, and of course we had cranberry sauce, but it was from a can. My mother's home made cranberry sauce is so much better.  I ate hours ago and I just got home. I'm still so stuffed my belly feels like a basketball.

Wow Alan....  :ahhh

Day 23 :

I followed Shuya's example and, for Black Friday,.....ran for the hills!




Temps were hovering around the freezing point today, but it seemed like a good day for a hike. The forecast was calling for a snowstorm this evening, and I thought I'd grab a bit of sunshine while I could.

The Huntsman came along, her set off by some wildly orange lichens:




The trail wound up around a 'mountain'. We had had a bit of graupel last night and the trail was a bit icy in spots. I was very glad to have brought a hiking staff along.




I got a little bit lost, which is always fun. The hike ended up being closer to 5 hours (I had told Mrs Nix 2 hours), but she knew I was going to wander about a little and wasn't concerned. The Huntsman got used to open a trail snack (these are pretty good):




As the day wore on, it was evident that the storm was starting to form up and roll in. No snow yet, but it's gone cloudy now. I'd lay even money on waking up to a fresh 2" of snow in the morning.

No doubt a SAK's scissors can do that.
But how's your thumb Alan?  :D

Thanks, Matt.

A fun day out.

A couple of highlights: saw a flock of Clark's Nutcrackers working it's way through the pines (not my photo):



Also kicked up a young, but healthy, 2x2 mule deer buck. He dashed off 25 yards and then stopped to check me out. Unsure what a person would be doing back in the hills in just a t-shirt when a Winter storm was rolling in. (Again, not my photo)

I was in the woods on Vancouver Island years ago, I turned around and there was a deer standing right behind me, completely oblivious to me - it doesn't sound like much, but it was a really strange experience. Glad it wasn't a cougar or a bear.  :ahhh

well, I'd prefer that the cougar or bear was unaware of me standing behind them, than me being unaware that there's a bear or cougar standing right behind me!  :dunno: :D
