Day Twelve, Ethan's Project!

     I actually got some work done on my project today! After lunch, David, Josh and I hiked and did some planing, that I think will work well. Just looking at the terrain we need to go over, it is a bit daunting, but I think that I will be able to prepare for it. The hardest part is going to be preparing for the rather crushing feeling of just not being able to find a good path. When you are spending a long time trying to find a way around a cliff, or a ravine, it is not the best feeling to go back to a starting point and try something completely different, especially if there were sections of the proposed trail that would be really pretty or fun. You do not want to get in your own way is a good way to think about it. 

     I was thinking about going over to Franklin Falls this morning, but it was rather unpleasant, so I decided against it.

     On the hike after lunch we did a lot of bush wacking, but we also found some cool stuff, like a lady slipper wild flower. 
They are very pretty flowers

     On the topic of cool things, that leads into the...

     While we did not see the animal responsible, we found its den. 
There was bear poop inside, it looked rather cozy

  1. It is quite difficult when you have really rough terrain to deal with Ethan. It sounds like you are giving it good effort, and also helping David too. Good job, glad you did not meet the bear that lived in that den.
