"I have many little animal friends in the woods. It seems like I have a hawk that comes to visit me every day. Whenever I go off on a trek, she circles overhead and kind of leads and follows my path. Squirrels come down every morning while I'm having my coffee and sit with me. They just chatter about - I guess they're trying to tell me what they're going to do or asking me what I'm going to do. I don't really know, but it sure is fun having their company every morning."

I have been out in the woods scouting for remote and primitive camp sites. I found couple but of course now it would be hunting season. Cool enough to keep bugs at bay but you can not camp dispersed in hunting season.




January I hope to be spending some time in the woods.
I will be camping period mid 1700's to 1840s, no modern gear, Lean to type tent trapper style, fat lamps cooking in the fire, and of course sleeping on the ground.
