Sunday night before going to bed I went outside to have a smoke. It was pretty dark and about 10 pm and I seen a large black animal in the side yard. It was coming up the mountain from the neighbors who have chickens so I thought it was a big dog getting into the chickens. I shuffled my feet in the gravel driveway and it took off at a fast run. It ran into a chicken wire covered portion of the barbed wire fence and stopped at a dime. It layed on the ground for a second and got up and ran down the long driveway up the mountain, In the morning i seen it had knocked over a 6x8 timber which was buried and cemented in the ground. It had to be a couple hundred pounds to knock out that timber. Glad it ran away.
Second trip to Little Bear mountain. Got new hiking boots for an anniversary present so I thought I would test them out. Instead of using the trails I hiked directly down Little Bear to the ravine and walked the creek down about a mile. Total trip 2 miles in 4 1/2 hrs. Found an old mine shaft. I love my new Danner hiking boots.
