Post by: ICEMAN on August 09, 2011, 06:06:21 PM: Yelm Hunter, last year you started an exact thread like this...and didn't post anything in it and it got into sort of a pissing match at times..... Anything new to add for this year? :dunno: Just sayin'.....

For me, found a really cool old porcelainized kitchen stove up in the Manastash...behind where we like to camp in the spring. It was missing alot of parts, but would have made a great winter project... It was there for years. I should have grabbed it, but someone finally took it home...

Post by: Stilly bay on August 10, 2011, 01:02:03 AM: I found a huge pot grow, complete with what looked like a booby trap (random steel wire strung tight across the trail)... I called the police on that one as soon as I got back home.

I ran into a group of "big foot researchers" once while hiking. on the hike back I pulled off my size 14 EEEE hiking boot and stuck my big bare foot in a drying mud puddle. :chuckle: I really couldn't help my self, so I made faux squatch tracks in two more spots along the trail.
