After Hike Hike

So after the Hike On the Quiet Side event, I still had plenty of daylight to do a little more. Thus, this is the after hike hike. However, my purpose was less of finding things and more about making some videos. I brought four of my flutes and a Dombra in hopes of doing some recording. I parked at the Gunter Cemetery and headed down the old roadbed to the left of the cemetery.

There were some beautiful fall colors as I made my way down with my Walking stick flute and my Dombra.

The roadbed became thick with rhododendron and it became evident that it was going to be difficult to make it to the first home place with Flute and Dombra in tow. So I stopped at a rock, made a couple videos and headed back to the cemetery. I was going to grab my other flutes and go back down to a closer rock; but I decided it was more open across the road and headed toward Cosby Creek. My first stop was the chimney remains of S L Gunter where I made a flute video by the chimney.

From there I crossed over the Horse trail and went down to Cosby creek to make some more videos.

 

I decided to follow the Horse trail back to where some old car parts lay in the leaves between the horse trail and the road.

Back in March of 2011 myself, Mike Maples and Ben Bacot found a couple car parts in the leaves. We hunted around and kept finding more parts and as best we could reconstructed the car. First picture is March and the second later in December.

Perhaps bears or wind and weather de constructed it, but it was fun finding all those parts and making our make shift car in Cosby.

I headed back toward the road seeing rock wall remains and some other goodies along the way.

And of course, stopping to look up!

It was a short but fun trek. Look for some music videos from my adventures in the near future!
