Just wanted to share this.
The other day, I took the boy (9 yrs old) up on the mountain, out back here.
(He is in 4-h, and besides pigs and horses, he has Hiking as a project)
So, I took him way up, to an area we have never been to, and we zig zagged quite a bit.
LOL, so we were standing by this dead old tree, in a clearing, on a steep slope, where we could see the highway below, and one of our horse pastures.
(So this was a good landmark, that he could see from below)
So I says " hey, you got your pocketknife on ya ?" :twisted: LOL, he gives it to me, and I stuck it in the tree, then I stuck mine in the tree.
Then I told him, you need to pay attention to where you are, cuz we are leaving these up here,,, and in a week or two, YOU are going to have to find our way back, to get our knives, and I dont care how long it takes, its all YOU.
LOL, his jaw dropped, he looks at me and says,, " dangit, I shoulda brought one of my other knifes."
But, I tell ya, he started lookin around, gettin landmarks in his head.
I'm thinking the next trip up, might be a long day.
I better take along ALOT of tobacco LOL
