Was the wife's birthday over the weekend and she loves to hike so I got a cabin rental in the Shawnee Natl. Forest and we drove down Thursday for few few days of hiking. Was 36 when we got there and warmed up to 62 degrees by the time we left sunday afternoon. My legs are sore, man that woman can walk non stop for hours. Occasionally I could get her to stop just long enough for me to snap a few pictures. Beautiful area down there even in the winter when all is dead. If you live close enough and have never been there it is a great place to spend time outdoors. Was a great time and we're already talking about going back to see more of it. Was hard to come back home to the 18" of snow and mess on the ground here.

a few more pics.

Cool Greg!!!! You weren't the only ones on trail this weekend... I was down in west by god snow slogging breaking trail thru knee to thigh deep snow up high for 7 hours non stop :)
-
Great pictures. Looks like a relaxing place to spend some time. Thanks for posting them Greg.
-
Sweet Greg and Sharon! I see ol' Smokey John got to make the trip to, lucky dog!
-
Beautiful country, thanks for the pictures. :)Not bad scenery standing in them either. ;) ;D ;D

-Man your hardcore Chris, only time I'd hike in thigh deep snow for 7 hours would be if there were a elk or moose at the end that I could shoot, but I'd probably drop from a heart attack two hours into it. :)
-Yes Clint it's a nice place, your probably not that far from it yourself.
-Old smokey john jones pretty much goes wherever Sharon goes Pearly.
-Pappy we were 3/4 the way to Twin Oaks, the landscape sure does improve the further south we travel.
We'll be going those extra couple hours south though in a few short months.

Those are some great pictures Greg. Looks like lots of fun. Great country to hike in.
-
Beautiful country greg, i got to agree with pappy about the scenery inside the pics too
-
Nice ! Happy Bday to the Wife also - Bob.
-
Nice pics, hope you brought your stave saw.
-
Happy birthday Sharon! Looks like a blast!
-
Camel rock and Burden falls area no doubt. You guys were in my backyard !! If you come back let me know , I can tell you the location of some off the beaten path areas that are amazing. Awesome weekend for it.
-
Thanks guys, I'll pass the b-day well wishes on to Sharon. :)
Wizardgoat, I always have a stave saw in the truck but don't think they allow me to use it there. :(
Wildman, I'll be hitting you up for some inside trail info. before we head down next time for sure, thanks.
I did have an hour saturday to stump shoot there just before dark while the wife read some at the cabin. Took a elm bow that I had just finished and I don't know if it was the bow or the serenity of the place but
I couldn't miss anything that I shot at. ;)

Beautiful looking scenery. That old tree looks like a face moaning.
-
I remember meeting that dog at Twin Oaks. Infinite capacity to soak up attention, the big schweetums!
Looks like the three of you had a great outing. Good for you, having a gooder!
-
Nice photos Greg. It was a heat wave down there.
-
looks like some of the same trails I was on in between parties at Southern Illinois. too bad our illinois doesn't look like that greg huh?
-
Nice pics. That old stump/tree looks like an old man hollering....... :laugh:
-
That looked like a great weekend. Happy late bday Sharon
-
Nice pics, time stamp is a bit off though. I wish it was that nice here instead of the 2' of snow on the ground and blistering winds we're getting right now.
-
Yeah Marc noticed that time stamp and figured out how to adjust it yesterday, looked back and see I have several photos on file with dates off by a few years or more. :o Damn high tech. gadgets. :)
Cold here now too, single digit temps and below zero wind chills, hate it.
-
I disabled the time stamp in all my cameras.
-
Awesome post Greg. Happy birthday to Mrs. Sharon! Looks like beautiful country and time well spent. I have seen you shoot - in my opinion it wasn't the bow or the surroundings - you are just a good shot! Hello to Smokie too. Hope to see y'all at the Classic.
-
looks like a great time and beautiful area. Thanks for sharing it. Danny
