Prowling on the Mountain

[fossis]

I went out today with 'Okiepackrat', & prowled around a local Mt, we found rocks in a tree root, hollow trees, odd rocks, Fossil impressions, bluffs, dug some 'Sasafrass roots' for a person, to make (Tea), burl wood, creek that 'disappeared under ground,' even found a 14' chain.
the weather was a 'Balmy 70's'.

You always find some of the most fascinating places and stuff! It was in the 70's?! SWEEEET! Ice and snow here...sounds like you had a great day! Thanks for sharing the pics with us!

 

[River Rat]

Great pics, Fossis Now that chain is well worth finding, you can use it. Sassafras tea some of the best, I have roots several years old that still make a good tea.

Thanks Cyn, we seem to have an 'abundance' of places to hunt, every time we go out, we come back with my truck full of something we can use.
We feel for you in the cold country, I have already started to 'weedeat' the weeds in my garden & yard.

Thanks Judie, do you peel the roots, or boil them all?
I gave 'Packrat' $5.00 for the chain, he found it, he has a nose like a 'bloodhound', finds all sorts of things.

Yeah, we had fun.
I have a little 'Ford Ranger', it has served me well.

I love the fossil! How in the heck did you spot that in that big rock? Tell me about the rock with the etching? on it. Another fossil?

OK Judie tell us how you make the tea from the roots.

Thanks for the warm walk Fossis, still frozen in here. Think Spring!

 

[RGINN]

A "Balmy 70 Degrees". Rub it in, Fossis. I could use that chain, though. This one's just for you. Notice it is a Chevrolet. (haha) You're alright, bud!

We were looking for a ledge of possible (Obsidian), not known in this area of the country, but Packrat's father took him there when he was about 13, we didn't find that, but we are always looking for oddities, & fossils.
the rock with the 'etchings' is just a concretion of sorts, just odd patterns formed by nature.
You just boil the roots, & add sugar I have been told, supposed to 'Thin the blood'.

I wouldn't 'rub it in', I feel your chill.
But when we are sweating through the (Heat & Humidity) in the summer, you guys are 'cool & composed'.
