Looks like a nice spot to do a little wandering. It's been pretty chilly in my neck of the woods as of late; how was the weather down in Ohio?

He said.....Poppy, can I make a knife (with wood he was holding)?
Absolutely, go ahead I replied.

How?
Lay this knife down and make an outline.

And he did make a knife and I promise you, it would hurt anything it stabbed!

Now that young man is a future knife maker. Awesome ingenuity. Using a knife to make a knife. Doesn't get any better than that. He'll never forget that experience. ::tu::

If you hadn't told me that knife was made from wood, I never would have guessed it and I never would have guessed it was made by one of your "crew". Excellent job.

What interesting terrain John. Most of the trees appear to be rather young. I'm guessing a forest fire swept thru this area maybe 10 years ago, as a guess. Or that heavy logging took place here.

Any idea what the number 39 might refer to?

Great post John.
