This jeep has been lost in the middle of nowhere for over three months so I figured I would move it along. This is a very rough area and fitting for a jeep. I had hunted hogs back in these hills back in the 70's and 80's. I knew the roads well at the time, so I figured I would get that jeep back on the road before winter set in for good.
I headed in on hogsback rd with a plan to unload the quad as soon as I found a wide spot. I figured why take a beating in the pickup when I could crack the throttle on the quad and double-time it. The roads were just as I remembered them ROUGH!! Although the quad was faster than the pickup, there wasn't much of the road that allowed me to "open it up" and some spots were down to rock crawling. I opened it up a few times and did some spectacular (although unplanned) jumps. I suggest taking it slow (hindsight). I was in a hurry as I had an appointment back in Redding at 4:00pm. After taking the beating that road administers I remembered why I no longer hunt those hills. I would suggest a four-wheel drive quad and a big pair of cohunes (and wear a cup).
NR_Teacher states that he took the cache in on horseback. That was almost five months ago. Hey NR_Teacher has that horse recovered yet???
I did make good time, I left my house in Whitmore at 9:00am and I was signing the log at 11:25, and it was a great day for a ride. This area is a deer wintering grounds and they were out in force. As I topped each hill the deer seemed to pour down the hills like water from all sides.
I signed the log, released both travel bugs so they wouldn’t be stuck there for the winter, and with a rocky theme in mind I left two pieces of rough tiger-eye (one blue and golden, and one red), and a piece of ruby in zoisite, I also left a necklace.
I then went on to log Sweet Madeline, and planed to log Run Like an Antelope, but my GPS was telling me I couldn’t make the hike and still make my appointment.
I did make my appointment, it was with my chiropractor, and he felt my back and ask what the H _ _ _ have you been doing???
