Good to see so many people out today. Once again I had time to kill with just me & my youngest so whatelse...
Piled him into my car, yes car and off we went. So many people out, horses, walkers, byciclists, eduro riders, jeeps & such. Parked out at the bridge by some forestry vehicles. Just kicked around the bridge & up & down the trail some picking up bottles along the way.Took a couple pics. The water is crisp and cool to the touch, just makes ya wanna stick yer pinkie toe in for a feel.
Unfortunately I was on a schedule ( aren't we always? ) and had to go.
If I didn't have to go I think I would have made a 1/2 dozen more stops along the way B4 I got back to 206. Very pretty day. Many smiling faces.
I hope any of you out there enjoyed it in your own little way, that really is what it's all about.

My wife and I and the dog were out in Jemima Mount and Mount area yesterday and didn't see a soul all afternoon.
I will post a few photos tonight.
We were geocacheing and found the first leg of ecampbell's (biscuitman) 3 part cache.
We couldn't finish it because we couldn't find part two.
It was a beautiful day in the big woods.
We came back through Quaker Bridge at 5:30 and I lost a few fillings on the washboard back to Atsion.

That road is horrible. They should stop playing with it and I bet it would be better.

There is validity to that and to Redneck's statement. It's a vehicle shaker alright.
I have proof in my recycle bin right now in the form of a "SCOTTSDALE 20"
emblem I picked up.

Perhaps next time I'm out there I'll find a Ford F350 emblem.
I'll be sure to return it to it's rightful owner if I do.

I came in from Washington Road and that wasn't bad at all.
That road can get just as bad as Quaker Bridge Road but it seems like they scarify and grade it more often.
Either that or it doesn't washboard as quickly because it sees less traffic than Quaker Bridge Road.

I was driving on Quaker Bridge Road last weekend myself. My big old CJ7 was about rattling apart. Noisy, banging, the rear locker wanted to keep sending it sideways. I don't know how, but my teenage nephew slept thru it.???????

I wonder how the road gets like that? I've always thought it was from the canoe trailers that constantly travel that road. They're always bouncing around and such.

I found a similar emblem on the east side of Quake Bridge early Saturday morning, but mine said "COTTSDALE 20". The S was missing, I left it there.

That was her. I know the truck it's from ( GM ) so of course I just wrote it all out. I'm sure the "S" held on to the truck for a little while longer.
My Columbo deduction says... Old truck comes in from Atsion bouncing along the Q/B/R, crosses bridge, tries to weasel up trail, tree banch takes the prize.
See that, if you hadn't left it for me I'd have nothing to talk about.Sorry I missed you.
Glad I didn't miss the emblem.
