What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

Hatchet head in Northern Nv. Numerous arrow heads on the same overlook

I'd love to see photos of this one.

Probably my favorite from the past decade was exploring a new drainage just below tree line. I knew there was a old wagon trail and a decaying fallen in cabin at the base of the drainage. However after hiking to tree line I traversed the ridge I found an old mine that still had old powder kegs from the 1800’s decaying amongst other equipment. Turns out the whole hillside was full of a crazy number of mines. I’m still meaning to get up there to and explore more.

Was there still visible powder in the kegs?

No powder. The kegs were just jumbled piles of half rotten staves and steel rings. They were all dumped at the mouth of the mine like a trash pile. One day I’ll go back and see if I can “safely” get a little ways in and see what I can find.

I found these points while headed back to camp on a logging road. I’m always looking for something to bring out of the woods.

Found a loaded shotgun (turned it in & eventually a trutkey hunter claimed it, a few artifacts, & a weather balloon View attachment 246217 oh, and a crreepy sign scratched into the dirt while I was solo hunting (forgot to tell hubbs about that one, oops).View attachment 246218

That creepy symbol is the symbol for "Anarchy" FYI.

A body, rolled up inside a carpet and stuffed under a bush. I don’t know it was a body at the time until later a sheriff in the area informed us they discovered a body rolled up in a carpet under a bush in the exact spot. Yikes!

Not really cool at all, it definitely one I will never forget.

It’s just normal for people to be murdered in New Orleans?

Yes, unfortunately. A daily occurrence. Young folks growing up without guidance and no respect for human life. Lots are retaliation killings and if whomever they are looking for is hiding out, they target family members of the targeted person (sisters, brother, children, etc). It's a vicious cycle and the shooter has no concern for collateral damage or innocent bystanders. The thought of spending the rest of their life in prison doesn't even phase them for a moment.

Very sadly, the above statements are honest and truthful. So much crime in New Orleans and other major cities in this country.

I was born there but have not returned since Hurricane Katrina over 20 years ago. I saw several documentaries on television about the recent crime waves. I hope for improved change in the future in the “Big Easy.”

Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider a.k.a Tom.
