Where is this?

You should have a good day, that area is clear now. I like the area, but it was just to much walking for me. Hope you guys find something of interest. I did walk up to the Springer's Brook trestle. It looks like it is still in good shape. Al may remember going under this on his canoe trip.
Yes, I think this burned area is coming back nicely. A good rain tomorrow will help a lot.
P.S. Forgot to mention that the fire has extended the Fiddlehead season. If interested remember to cook them well.
Bob I saw a f650 super truck at the wawa at 539 and 70 with a window sticker for that gun club thought it was a joke. Ground swiping is a hunting joke.
My one and only experience shooting clay pigeons was there. I didn't do too badly as I recall.
Sue, no wonder you did so well, that looks like an elephant gun. If you wanted to share maybe that club would like a copy of picture?
All,
I posted this here because of previous post. Sorry if it is slightly off topic.
We visited the fire area to look for the road mentioned in a previous post by Don. On our way there we ran into this nice friend out soaking up the early morning sun.
Very calm.
Moving on I barely got up to speed and we ran into this woman on the side of the road.
She was a little preoccupied and seemed to be in a little stress.
I was concerned about her so I blocked the road somewhat so she would not get run over. When we returned later she was gone and I dug up the dirt and there were no eggs. I followed the trail of her tail into the fire area and searched quite a distance and she was gone. So the eggs are going somewhere else thankfully.

If that was not enough we found this.
There is a go around if you can believe that.
Okay...now to the important stuff
I found the location of the bridge that Don was looking for and there is no evidence there ever was a bridge there except that the road goes right across there. So it had to be a basic wooden bridge without ground pilings.
We then went back to the RR tracks, crossed the stream, and headed to the other side to see if we could find the fork in the road where the one went to Hampton and the other headed towards the bogs NW of there off of East Stokes Road. You can see the intersection here.
The yellow arrows show the location of the bridge and the Y intersection where the road forks. The green arrows shows the road to Hampton and the bogs on East Stokes Road.
And our route.
Also, check out this video of the fire today. It is really burning well.

Guy, you and Jessica had a really good day. I will take a better look tonight when I get a change.
P.S. If Jessica took that picture of the snapper she is a pro already, that picture is a classic.

When we were leaving there was a van along the road with a young teenager and his dad. Jessica felt they were the owners. So I drove back to them and when the kid looked at me I pointed down the road and the kid shook his head yes. They then drove out to 206 and were sitting there waiting for most likely the wrecker.
I've got a lifted jeep and went around that hole. I'm pretty sure those logs were already in there too
