I (heart) cooperative weather!

By | June 8, 2017

After the seemingly longest winter and spring ever, I’m finally getting out for weekly treks. I’ve been exploring the tiny creek a bit more and I’ve identified at least 3 nice deep spots… There’s still lots of water but there’s also lots more flat low land poking through.  I may abandon the area once some other areas become accessible again, since there’s an over-abundance of jagged rocks around here. There’s also a little tiny pond I found, with lots of soggy soft ground around it. I am hoping for a good time here later in the season when these little ponds start to dry up.

To get to any of this year’s explored area I have to take a mile long walk down a public side road. Fortunately it’s a pretty quiet road that doesn’t really lead anywhere. There are at most 3 dwellings along the stretch of road. So far I’ve gone down the road and back at least 4 times and I haven’t encountered a single vehicle. This is great because the fewer locals who know of my travels, the more comfortable I feel exploring the surrounding area.

The other day I checked out last year’s spots again. They’re still quite under water but I think in a few weeks Creeky will poke out.  I am happy that I will be able to return there soon.  I’m also happy and excited because now that I know where Creeky Bog is and I will hopefully get access to it much earlier this year.
