Prospect TN Walk

Yesterday was a very good day for a hike, so we decided that we would go to the land in Prospect, TN has been in my family (James) for several generations. This land borders on the Elk River (huge bluff from our land to the river though) and is a great place for deer and turkey hunting. Just ask my family of hunters, they will tell you so. The boundaries are marked really well, except for one portion that is particularly hilly, rocky, etc., so we decided to look for the old fence and mark as much as we could of that border, so we took off on our quest.
We did pretty well, we naturally had to move a bit slow; but the terrain is such, that poor health or not, you would have to move slow. Tracing the old barb wire fence through the brown leaves, etc., was not the easiest job in the world - it was fun. A few of the trees had grown around the wire and it was sort of strange to see a tree a foot or more in diameter with barbed wire coming out of the middle of it. The power company, many years ago, cut through a swath for their power lines and cut through the fence for a good chunk. We'll have to go another day and try to mark from the power lines down to the river and that's good. An excuse for another outing!
I took a few pictures of our walk and they are posted here if you care to see them. My favorite is the one posted above - serenity!
