East of the River, East of the Creek

The 17th we rode down through the East side of the river, this time we were going to walk in to see the other side of our new-found spring and see whatever we could see. We were happy to have some new company this time- Joe, Tammy, Kim, Uncle Todd, Cody & his girlfriend.
Tammy & Joe (and her shiny bag) headed out to the woods.

Thought this was crime scene tape at the time (everyone looks like a search party out in the woods), turned out it said something like "Gas line below". haha.


It wasn't long before we hit water. But we weren't at our creek yet.


Tammy, Sarah, & Debra- Adventure women


Mark's new ensemble included boots, he didn't want wet feet this time.


Debra and I were ready incase he fell in.


The camera bug got ahold of Kim, and she did us all one better! She brought 2 cameras...just in case.


Daddy, Mommy, & Sarah. It was cute watchin them cross this creek!


Found it! Here we are, back at the spring we discovered the week before.


Tammy decided to take a break and enjoy the view.


Someone made it here before us...even if it was long ago. He left his tree stand.


I couldn't resist another angle. There is always another way you can see things, even if it's just 4 or 5 boards up in a tree.


The bag ladies, these are our beer bags. Tammy- silver & sparkly, Janice- Christmas present bag "Let it Snow", Debra- blue drawstring, and Kim- with the very practical backpack.
Ruby had her a big ole bag too, but she had snuck off back to the truck with Duck by now.


Sarah had her treasure shovel too. She said she was going to dig for gold!


"I ain't sayin she's a gold digger..."


I was still sneaking pictures of her


She caught me!!! Aaahh!
But she didn't hit me, Janice saw her first, lol.


Still treking around in the woods...


Mark says it looks like this may have been an old hog pen, but if you look at the picture (the big version) you can see that this tree was used as one of the "posts" in a corner of the pen years and years ago. Since then, the tree has grown, and the wire didn't move, leaving scars that almost look like lashes from a whip. In some places the tree has grown completely around the wire, absorbing it to the point that you can't even see it!
Interesting!


Tammy sitting again, Sarah digging again...


"What's that in your jacket Janice?!"
It was beer, in her pockets. Too funny!


We adventurers made it back to the trucks, and almost everyone had to sit down.


Bear grass...according to Uncle Todd it grows very close to hidden things...
Do you think we tested the theory?!
