Forest Mystery


My hike the other day I was following an animal trail through the forest.  Eventually I lost track of the trail.  I must have missed where they turned at some point.  At any rate there is was with only my compass to go by in finding my way out.  After a mile or so I came across this.  It was solid underneath with a couple of wing nuts holding what must have been a removable bottom in place.  There was open space between the louvers.  No wires or electronics.  In fact it looked as if no one had been around in the area for a very long time as no trail, path or tracks were leading to it.


Nearby a couple small trees had these tags.


 And the entire area was staked off with three of these forming a triangle shaped plot.
The white thingy is in the background just to the left of the tree.

I have found the strangest things just by accident wandering aimlessly through the forests of Annadel.
I am still looking for my first Bobcat and Mountain Lion.

That is mysterious indeed, can't think what this is about. Those ribbons with the numbers look rather new. The white machine, I first thought, it was an abandoned washing machine!

I fear we are being watched by aliens. :))

If you are looking for a bobcat or mountain lion, I hope you have something with you to protect yourself.
