Stony Ridge

Up on Stony Ridge there is a spring called Cedar Spring. I finally found it today after several attempts earlier in the year. Nothing spectacular, it is a spring that has been developed. It has a trough for cattle or wildlife. Considering the well worn trails coming into the spring, it must get lots of use.

One cool thing about it is that it is totally inaccessable by vehicle. There is a road leading to it but it is washed out in many places and overgrown with brush and even trees that kind of tell how long it's been since it was drivable.

The view from the top of the ridge was pretty good, lots of burned areas from last summer.

Contemplation

Sounds like an exciting topic, doesn't it? Kramer yearns.... I contemplate. I was contemplating some existential topics just today, I might add. One of the advantages of being out by myself is that I have no one to talk to but me. Well, I do admit to talking with some of the animals I run into on my travels. So far none of them has talked back to me, so I guess that's a good thing, like Martha says. Neither one of these pictures was from today I was too busy contemplating to take any new ones.

This buck did not want to leave the apple tree where it was enjoying some of the best apples around. I like this particular tree and one next to it; it has some of the best tasting apples and they are larger than some of the others too. Anyway, the buck just stood there watching me approach so I kept the tree between him and me. He finally went away and my friend Chris climbed into the tree and knocked down enough apples for all of us, including the deer.

Yes, Michelle... same old, same old.
