March 30 2013.  Jogging at Barkley Bridge again followed by birdwatching at Long
Creek Nature Reserve...Spotted lots of Ringneck ducks hanging out with some Geese.
Watched a duck roll over in the water, never saw a duck do that before!! laughs!!!
Nice to see water again at Long Creek which only recently opened again March 15th.

Naturally I   have to explore somewhere before I head home.  This time I explored across the road from the ponds .  I was hoping to find and old homeplace where i lived as a small child.  Bingo!
Its easier to find things without all the vegetation to hide it.  Finding Old cement steps/broken bricks/ tin siding made it a successful venture.. Funny Story about this place.   My dad was a moonshiner then, (with his family ) THE STILL not far away I think.  Heard through the grapevine he was going to be arrested .  He packed up his family that night and moved to Florida.  There he got a job as a Policeman....HOW IRONIC!!
There we lived just south of Daytona Beach for 10 years...Luv that place still.

January 9th Jog at LBL

Yesterday I jogged at Lake Barkley bridge on the bike/hike path.  Pretty busy there with the Bass tournament.    I hiked some of the nearby hills after jogging .   Nice views from up there.
Neat thing happened to me:  the last thing I wanted to do before leaving was hike out on a peninsula that was accessible due to the low water.  When I got close enough to cross over a coyote stood up, apparently hiding in the brush .  We both got a scare.  Needless to say I didn't investigate  the peninsula.  I wondered how he would get off during the day because of the high traffic coming and going on the bridge.  I imagine when traffic slows down tonight he will be able to leave.
