Shucks Robin, I keep showing you my pics. I sure wish they were good enough that you would not have to keep searching.  :(

Yeah - That's the pic I wanted all to see, Killie, though I did appreciate the sneak preview too much to  "outdraw" you - LOL.

Those pink (sort of - more lavender really) flowers - do you rekon they are the same tiny, short, spring harbringers that I grew up in NH knowing as "Bird-On-The-Wing"? They sure look it.

Enjoying the thread and replies, as usual.   :thumbsup:

Great thread! Keep posting the pics if you got em, brings me back. I lived in Anandale as a kid from 73-76. I remember driving through the blue ridge Mountains several times on the way to upstate New York.  Remember driving through the Shenandoah valley as well. Beautiful country.

Robin's no candy-arse. He did the whole thing for me and Charlie cause I'M a candy-arse and he knew I'd die within minutes of being subjected to snow.  :scared:  Hate that dang word.
Robin's 10 years my senior and can walk away from me on the mountain like I was an old lady. He tough!

I'm glad you got some great photos. I look back through my hunt photos these days and find that I often return to the hunt by simply looking through the pics. Great writing as well. Why don't you submit something to TBM orowyers Journal. Carry-on. CK

BTW - I forgot to mention, when Killie sent "The" picture to me, she labled it, "Oh, how I suffered," in her usual witty manner.  :biglaugh:

Lil'Fedder, I know that Robin, no matter what driveling nonsense he writes about himself, is the REAL deal! I, on the other hand,  am  an old lady.

Bernie, I typed it into Google, here is the first hit.  :)  

 http://ontariowildflowers.com/main/species.php?id=45

BBB, I go to Annandale every day to take my pup to the dog park. My best friend lived there during your tenure there, and I lived up the road a piece, in Vienna. Marshall High School. Annandale is the location of our weekly meetings of the Chagrined Again Hunting Club.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were some feeding scrapes and a rub or two on the flat, which was a narrow strip of ridgetop running 4 or 500 yards long on the Virginia side, and about 100 yards wide. This was good, the most sign I had seen so far. Nothing like I was expecting, though. Working toward the far nd of the flat, to my right I could see Buck Knob across the drainage. Camp is on the other side of it.

Killdeer, the pants your wearing look like they are wool and have double knees. Are they wool and were did you get them?

Hey Stone Knife, they are thick wool, have double knees and cargo pockets. Each cargo pocket has a skinny little pocket in them that holds a mini-mag flashlight very neatly, just put it in head-down and leave a latch string from the butt out. I got them at a surplus store, I think they are WWII German pants. I bought about 6 pairs. I run them in the machines to wash and dry.

Small world huh? We lived in the parliament apts. on medford drive for a while, and then in a house nearby on poplar st. I got to looking at some aerial photos of annandale online today, and boy has it changed.    :eek:   There used to be mostly just woods across from the apts.

Poplar Street is 1 block from where the old gun store, The Loading Bench, was (Maple Place). It was open late on Thursdays, and everybody in the shooting community would drop by there. After the store closed, the core group started going behind the store to the Sunset Grill (Columbia Pike), where we still meet every Thursday. My cadre of friends who have hunted Highland comprise the Chagrined Again Hunting Club.

Hey! We almost knew each other!

I'm gonna keep my eyes open for some of those. I have a pair of surplus US wool kind of thin but well built $10 great for just beating the brush.
