I got an early start on the trail work today and got up there around noon and started working away.
I started here today, widening out the trail in this spot.
Barry shows up
I’d been working up there on the trail for about an hour when I heard a dirt bike come up the road so I walked out the trail to see who it was.
Barry came by for a dirt bike ride.
Walk up the trail
As long as he was here, we walked up the trail, to the ridge top, where it went, to have a look around.
Dirt bike ride
Then we walked back down to where the dirt bikes were and I joined him for a dirt bike ride around the properties.
We rode around some and then went over to my cousin’s place where we ran into some foresters cruising her forest and counting the big trees. We shot the bull with one of those guys for a bit, then headed up to the top of the ridge for a break with this view.
The sun was out nicely with a few clouds in the sky.
From there we took off again riding around and around the roads and trails.
Back to the trail work
Eventually Barry headed for home and I went back up to work on the trail some more as I wanted to get this part finished which I did and headed on home around 5:30.
Were the foresters just taking a census of some kind? or are there other things at work here. Glad you had a good day in the woods.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
Were the foresters just taking a census of some kind? or are there other things at work here. Glad you had a good day in the woods.
