Well, once again I ventured out today on the Narragansett Trail. This time,
I decided to take my girlfriend's dog with me. His name is Simba. He is a
Yello Lab. He is fun to say the least and very useful in following the
correct trail back home when it becomes hard to see. Must be that doggy
nose or the eyesight. At any rate, High and Bullet ledges beckoned to me
today. I'm sorry, I didn't have enough daylight to place the three others
on the trail. We will do that on Saturday when we catch the new and
improved Little Dam series.
So, just as I topped the ridge just before High Ledge with Simba leading me
by about 50 feet, i see movement in the woods. There below the ridge to the
right were a flock of at least 20 turkeys. Of course Simba saw them before
I did. I said "don't you dare" but he ignored me and proceeded to chase
some turkeys. It was fun to watch and needless to say, he didn't catch any.
I don't think he was trying anyway. It was just something to chase. I
thought to myself, "i'll bet there is a hunter nearby".
Sure enough, as I was stamping into the High Ledge letterbox, I heard Simba
let out a guarding WOOF. It was the hunter clad in blaze orange. I yelled
out SORRY ABOUT THAT... he kinda waved at me infrustration. Didn't hear any
shots after that. I think Simba chased away his catch.
Oh, and by the way, there IS another letterbox up by High Ledge. It is
called Ledge Woods. The clue can be found at Eastern Mountain Sports in the
Crystal Mall in Waterford, CT. You'd be surprise at what you'd find up
there.
