hey boo boo

I have a good time exploring WWII sites. Abigail is even into it.

 

Walks are often scenic

 

There's cool old stuff

You of course know this is a ceramic insulator. Pretty big and complete one.

This is a standard late period elephant magazine, with an I-beam hoist.

Then there are some unexpected finds. Next to a standard bivouac and some other bulldozed areas that were once structures, there is this long (50 feet) tunnel, crawl space only, that led to a small structure (former structure). I have never seen anything quite like this.

Tim found this site. I would have expected these kind of wood and chicken wire structures in Buskin hill, but nay, this is by the ComSta.

Period tire? Tim says so cause it has a blah blah blah. The rest of the jeep or whatnot is there too. Of course there are like a gagillion trucks and such from the 1970s. I am not a tire expert. I took some other photos maybe I will do some tire research. Oy.

 

and a jeep tire. little different.  

All in all, I've seen some neat-o structures

 

and I appreciate the little things - stacks of cut trees, concrete foundations, shards of glass and nails. That stack of wood have been there for 70 years! The last person to touch it was the person who put it there.

In the past two weeks I have been hunting for the I still think the unfound, in places that are even off the beaten path for me. This venting was a clue, I thought, and I really thought I had maybe found it, but I think perhaps not. 

 

It's hard to concentrate though. The "road" I was on was not a road anymore, but a stream, a patch of alder and salmonberrys, oh, and a bear trail, next to the other bear trail, conversing that bear trail right over there, and that's it, bear trails. This is my face when walking down bear trails! I don't do this by choice. I bushwack or go the roundabout to avoid the highways and main thoroughfares, but sometimes you have to take the side streets and country roads there are so many in this area. I didn't even know I took this photo. Must have done the flip invert thing on my phone.

This is me when I am on the main road, headed back to the car!

This is a sad photo for me. This was taken pretty much the moment Basil died.
