John, the Ice Age Trail is a 1000 mile hiking trail entirely within the state of Wisconsin that highlights the state's glacial heritage. It winds all around the state, in and out of State forests and public land. The portion of it that I was on today was in the southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest. ( kettles are large depressions left from melting glacial ice, and moraines are the surrounding hills...)

I get out there as often as I can John! The section I was on today is about 20 miles from my house. I have other stomping grounds that are closer, but not quite as scenic...or maybe just scenic in a different way. I just enjoy solitude in the outdoors wherever I can find it

Thanks Mike.. I like quiet/alone time in the woods too at times.. Sounds like you found yourself that spot!! If I find myself in Wisconsin I will need to look that area up!! John

Scraped all hell out of a shin to get the right angle...

Me and this big ol Boker are taking a break by the fence.

Wade,
I believe you're going to wear that thing, you just got it and didn't even give it time to get acclimatized! What that thing sittin' on the fence just east of your new prize? Looks like a pith helmet to me.
Glad you're enjoyin' your new Treebrand!

Lol, I think it might take a day or two longer to wear it out. I hope!

You are correct sir, that is a straw pith helmet. I started wearing it with my bee veil and the doggone thing is just so cool and comfortable in the hot weather, and keeps the sun off mag face, that I started wearing it to do yard work. I've been using the weed trimmer today so out came the pith helmet.

Very nicely staged photos jmh58. I particularly like the play of light and shadow in the first photo with the two knives thrust into the greenery.

Thanks Garry.. Any and all good shots happen by accident!! Honest!!! John
