All,
At 8:40 this morning the members of PBX met at the Atsion ranger station for a hike that Bob designed and titled Dutchtown Freestyle. Here is an edited portion of the invitation we all received on November 3 from Bob.
“The title of our next PBX Trip is “Dutchtown Freestyle”. At 8:40 AM, on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov 24), those PBX members who are willing will meet at the Atsion Ranger Station. From there we’ll head down 206 to a parking spot in the woods behind Miller’s Bogs. This is the area that burned this summer. We will be taking a crazy 5 mile loop through the burn area, mostly sticking to savannah land and the headwaters of Sleepy Creek.”
Joining us at the meeting point and seeing us off from the start, was our injured counterpart Behr655. He gave us the lowdown on his condition, and also took a group photo of us before we set off. Hopefully, he will post it below. From this site we had bobpbx, woodjin, Jessica, me (teegate), long-a-coming, pinelandpaddler, and RednekF350. Then we were off traveling mostly savanahs in the area of the Great Swamp that burned this summer.
One of the many savannahs.
This tree needs to come down.
A view from one of the many deer stands we found along the route.
Pumpkins and Corn.
It was a long way down.
Another location
Bob checking out the water.
Anyone hungry?
Here are two video’s. I am not happy with the quality on youtube so you will need broadband to view these. The first one shows a very dead tree coming down. The second video which is longer in length and has the quality cut back somewhat, shows Bob explaining one of the rare plants that only grows after a fire in the pines. You can see the plant in all of the video. Turn up your volume to hear them properly.

You're right, Bob. Scott did that vermin a favor!
