Hank and I went for a walk today up the hill on the west side of the airstrip. We followed a road up the side of hill leading to where I think the Coast Guard Station’s head works for their water system. Last week I found an old pipe in the ground made of flat steel rolled and riveted into a pipe.
See the rivets in the flat steel which was rolled into a pipe.
We found a spot where at sometime in the past had been a water collection dam. We spent some time looking around and found a newer pipe going further up the creek to another water collection spot. It looks like the newer pipe is cast iron.
A trail continues past the end of the road up to the trail which runs from the airstrip to Suntop. We continued along this trail for a while. Looking at this trail it it is evident there was a mountain bike rally here on Saturday. The trail was soothed out from all the bikes running down the trail and at trail junctions orange surveyor’s tape attached to limbs with clothes pins. I am guessing someone we’ll come back later an take these down.
Here is a InReach map of where we hiked. When we get home I think I will pair my InReach with my traveling Facebook site. This way I can post locations from InReach to Facebook via satellite.
Friday 7/24/2015 I figured out how to post to Facebook from my InReach, posted the location of our house.
