All work and no play makes Hal angry so time for a weekend in the woods.

Thought I'd hike up a mountain and look for it's benchmark. There wasn't a trail but I knew I was getting close when I saw this. An old fire tower foundation. These are usually near the highest point.

Found it. GPS makes finding these a lot easier.

I'm at the top of Mozark Mt.

Looking for benchmarks is something I like to do when I'm hiking around. Here's a web page I previously created about them.
What is a Benchmark?It got down into the 30's both nights I was out but with the Webasto heater I was snug as can be.

On the right side of the above picture you can see the first iteration of my kitchen cabinet. This is just the framework with a plywood top but it gave me a chance to test out the size. Some adjustments are needed.

While hiking I came upon this. Anyone know what it is?


It has a small solar panel but no markings of any kind. Just curious.
