Around mid October we headed south. Our pals the Spiders were along because we were off to visit the place where Barking Spider started his career with The United States Forest Service. It was a very special trip. The story is up on our blog and can be found here -

Nice! I need to see that country! Vicariously isn’t getting it at all.

Tell that Spider fellow that he looks like he should be skinnin’ mules :)

Thanks for sharing!

Very nice. I do hope they rebuild the lookout but I'm not holding my breath.

I spent some time at Camp Whitsett, a BSA camp, just beyond Johnsondale. Pretty sure I was there in ‘69. Beautiful area.

Another gem of a report. I was joking with Susan yesterday I had better check trip reports because you were due for another one. Sure enough another was ready for my eyes. Cranking those baby's out. As always we enjoyed this one. [emoji41]

Thanks for the nice comment, Mr. Sage! Yup, Barking Spider loves mules!
