Deep Run and Deep Friendship

[RednekF350]

Spent some time today with some PBX'ers along Deep Run. Pineland Paddler, Hewey and I have been trying to hook up for over a year and the stars finally aligned today. We met up on 206 in the afternoon and drove back to Deep Run. We did a sweep to the north and another sweep to the south enjoying a crisp and clear afternoon in the woods.

I was surprised to get decent cell service back there and we were able to use Boyd's Maps in real time to explore several topographic anomalies that proved to be charcoal mounds and a tar kiln. Thank you Boyd for all of your endless work in putting together a seamless mapping program that can be used almost anywhere to put history beneath your feet. It is truly amazing what you have done

It has been twenty years since Gabe, Chris and I first met because of PBX. We have all made lifetime friendships because of that and because the dedication of bobpbx and Teegate and a long list of others in keeping things alive.

Here's to another twenty years!!

It was great to see you and Gabe today. Hopefully the full PBX crew can get together in the near future. Even if it is just for a short hike and a tailgate.

I thought for sure that was a tar kiln there. It’s been on my list to explore, just haven’t made it there.

Good to get back into the Pines with some good buddies. 18 years. Where does the time go?
