One of my new favorites with a lot of trails to explore. Decided to walk some of them. You usually find something interesting every time out but today it was a little more as a few of the pictures self explain.
Just a skim of ice left in the cove’s on the northern end of Cleveland Pond.
I run across a these shelter structures once in awhile. I guessing you would put a tarp over the logs and have a nice place to sleep. Looking around at all the trash more than one party has taken place here
Have to take the color when you see it during the Winter.
Fairly large burl for this area on a oak tree. The burl forms from defect on the tree, injury breakage etc. They are more valuable than straight lumber because of the interesting pattern in the grain. Used in a variety of ways, projects including gun stocks, furniture, inlays and wood turning. Also turned into veneer will stretch the use.
Accidentally stumbled across this from catching the garland shining in the sun light. Had to walk 75 feet off the trail through brush to get to it. I have no idea what this is about. Some sort of grave.
Hanging from a tree and other stuff on the ground. Some claim it’s a ritual others say a grave of pet. What? It takes a lot to creep me out but this did. Not carrying any defense today I decided I had seen enough and left.
