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

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.

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   :readit:    :confused:    :biglaugh:    

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.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

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

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

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

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?   :campfire:    :goldtooth:
