That's a pretty cool history, being a civil war veteren's camp. Where is the camp? Looks like a nice area.

Very cool guys.

I love massive trees like that.I always wonder who's been underneath them and to see what the tree has seen in it's time on the earth.Neat stuff.

Hey Jeff, we have had a warm spell up here. About 30 degrees f. Better than -16 degrees.

The camp is located on the edge of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness in Hamilton Co. Jeb Hayes actually farmed the land and tried to make a living on that patch of rock. The old timers said you had to boil a chicken a week to even eat them.....lol!

Nice area, but not for farming. I hunt about 15 miles north and west of Northville. In southern Hamilton County.

Photos came out good Ken....nice work!! Even for that itty bitty camera!!

Ken, that picture of me digging,

was that me demonstrating how to build a shelter or was that the time I was showing you how deer find acorns in the winter

:confused:

I had a great time guys. Thanks Ron for taking us a long.

Izzy, The bow was as expected. Dreamy! I have yet to shoot a big River I do not like. I have nicknamed the Bow "Raven". It fits if you see it.

The picture of me digging is the first shot with a heavy tipped arrow. It zipped about 1.5 feet high over the stump.

Looks like fun, not sure I will be stump shooting in that kind of snow down here in Oklahoma

People tell me that I live in paradise(only because they haven't been to the Adirondacks).
Very cool!

adkmountainken · January 30, 2011, 08:40:00 PM

Yes sir "God's Country" for sure!!!!!

Cookus · January 30, 2011, 08:44:00 PM

Beautiful country guys!

Looks like fun! Nice "traditional" snowshoes also.

Cyclic-Rivers · January 30, 2011, 09:39:00 PM

They were what I was given to use, not intentional.

Thanks for taking the pics Ken, they came out great.

ron w · January 30, 2011, 09:43:00 PM

Glad you guys had a good time....next time we'll have to bring some food to cook while sitting around to wood stove.......maybe Brats and fried onions and mushrooms and some hard rolls?

Cyclic-Rivers · January 30, 2011, 09:46:00 PM

I have venison Brats! Is that an automatic invite?
