I was out for a walk on Wednesday and discovered the trees along the RR tracks from Carranza Road west for about 1/4 mile were felled, big and small. They were dropped over the tracks. If they don't clear them out there will be no hiking the rails in that area, and alot of people do that.

Also, in typical PBX fashon I continued my psuedo-random hike through the center of the woods and found this survival hut.

I call it psuedo because I placed boundries on it, the RR tracks, Carranza Road and a dirt road, then I just wandered the deer trails from clearing to clearing, checking out anything that caught my eye. Saw some deer stands, old camp sites and evidence of animal activity. I was wondering what I was missing just sticking to trails, and it's alot. I also found several bottels, of which I like to check the dates, it takes me back in time, just like BoB M with old cars.

Does anyone remember the year they started making flip tops that stayed attached to the cans?

Do you mean the pull off tabs that actually came off the can? Back in high school (late 80's) we would take the pull tabs off and make chains outta them and hang them up in our rooms bragging how much beer we had drank. By the time I graduated, I recall they had come out with the ones that were attached to the cans we were soo bummed - no more chains.

I saw the felled trees on Monday. While it looked strange, I couldn't reconcile anyone other than an official doing this. Who would cut these down otherwise and for what purpose?
