The misty days of Leetonia

Trailer leaves the woods

For those of you interested in the trailer it has found a good home. We bid it farewell and remember the fun days of having friends stay there and enjoy the woods. We still have the deck for sale and some leftover steel roofing. Also anyone wanting a full RV hook-up where the trailer used to sit it is for rent by the day, month or season. Contact me at campeaglebear@yahoo.com for more info.

On to other subjects I wish my camera could have caught the picture the other night when I was driving home in the dark. It was a misty,foggy night. The water droplets hung on the trees in a way the light from my headlights made them glow. The fog kept my travel slow and shadows danced through the trees. On a night such as this alone in the woods, dark and foggy, your mind plays tricks on you. You think you see a bear or something moving ahead and when you reach it there is nothing. It makes you feel that something supernatural is out there. Your brain goes to wild-men or Bigfoot.  During the day it is easy to laugh at such folly of the mind. But I assure you the next time you are alone on such a night in the woods it isn't hard to go to a very dark and scary place. 

Usually, this kind of post would be a good Halloween post but it came early in August this year. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.

Foggy Days and muddy roads

Foggy Days

Well today is about the third foggy day in a row; add the rain and it makes for messy roads. We only got up to 40 today here but in town where there isn't any snow it is about 10 degrees warmer. Most the snow is melting off the South sides of the mountain except on tops, but the North sides are still holding a couple inches of ice and snow. It is still passable coming up from Cedar Run, but it is tricky and I am still recommending chains with you if you need them. 

The part of the road that is plowed on the south side of Cedar Mt is a muddy mess. I sunk as much as 3 inches into the slippery mess on the way up. Slow speed is the only thing that keeps you from swerving in the slick mud. Tomorrow it is supposed to get windy. So we can expect some power outages. I am glad I got my big walk in on Sunday, because now it is just plain messy and ugly out there. We have some chance of sun Saturday, but the temperatures will start dropping tomorrow and I am expect ice to take the place of the slushy snow and mud. So not much good weather news for anyone wanting to visit. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
