Went back out to EMP this morning. Gate opened at 6:45.Took the East trail this time. The wind was pretty brisk but not to bad.
Saw quite a few more deer, one bruiser buck about a mile in.
Also met a veteran that is going to do the Pacific Crest trail in April with an organization called...
Just go to Walmart or other store and look at the cookie or cake cooling racks and pick what size you want.
Here's one that works and doesn't weigh much at all.....
Hope this is not hijacking the OP ? If it is let me know, just thought it went with the homemade theme.
Here's another from about 8-10 years ago. It actually works very good and is light and only cost about $25-30 to make minus the stove pipe.
I hate to post it because the galvanized police will...

You do nice work.
Staying with the same theme here's one I made about 8 or so years ago.

It is a very nice trail park. Nice trails, nice scenery and it does have some topography to it for around here. Nothing drastic bit nice.
I went on the west trail or right, and if you go about a mile the trail makes a loop. I made three loops going...
My daughter runs a lot and she said one of the trails on Eagle mnt lake has some nice elevation to it.
I am planning on going over there Tues.
will report back and hopefully take a few pics.
