gretchensteele 10-01-2007, 16:48 one , two and the last one are oyster..looking a little old though...next to last is some type of polyfore, and the other two are a shelf type..only the oysters are edible..and they look a little past their prime...but once they've been on those trees you can expect them there again, and you can also look to see if there are new ones coming on as well..if we ever get any rain.......
.if we ever get any rain.......
I don't understand what is this word you speak of R-A-I-N???:confused:
Ok ok.....I was in a hurry and just kept the cam on auto besides a couple times...some pics really suck and I didn't get to really edit them good, but I just wanted to post em....

DetectDave 10-01-2007, 20:48 Bam, ya gotta start feeding the fam on these outings so they don't start gnawing on those trees outta sheer hunger...a little trailmix, some apples..anything ...the poor dears prolly got splinters.. I bet yer gonna blame it on the beavers;) ;)
DetectDave 10-01-2007, 20:51 Those are great pics by the way. That 'simmon looks huge. I'd say ya found a motherlode there
Birdhunter1 10-01-2007, 21:14 Nothing like good quality family time in the outdoors!
Great pics, nothing like a day in the mud, altho I have not seen any mud in a long time....:)
Thanks guys....We def had fun....it sure was hot for OCt though....
dave, yes i was a beaver...but we were all ready for dinner when we got home after all that hiking and trompin in the mud...I bet my boots weighed 20lbs at one point..lol....
We didn't take any of that fruit..maybe next time....
RLF, there should be water there, it's just down so low..that's why I said we walked where no man walked before.....lol.....
gretchensteele 10-01-2007, 22:16 Bam - looks like you guys found a good spot..S**t now I really want to come down - like now...# 8 looks like a hedgehog - very very tasty..and your oysters are a tad old..but lordy..then there's those onion bagels - don't eat them...guys I just hate trying to say yay or nay from a pic...scares the bejsus out of me..I have to look at where it's at, what it feels like, how it smells....but lordy Bam I think ya'll have a honey hole there...any chance of us hitting it this week if I can figure out how for say Wednesday? I promise..I'll help watch the little ones..:)
gretchensteele 10-01-2007, 22:18 Oh and as i told Life..there's some unwritten rule..the bigger of a pain it is to get to them the bigger the haul of shrooms...wait til you see me slinking under multiflora rose bushes this spring...
It's up to you, I got another doc appointment in the am though.....could miss it, rather be in the woods anyway right.....i told you I had a spot didn't I? did you notice what I put......where no mans gone before (excluding gretchen) lol..I knew if you were around you would have already of been there.....I was duckin and diving and sliding and runnin and chasiing and well you know.....We were all hungary too but I wasn't about to go in no where the way we all looked.....it was hot too...whoo!
gretchensteele 10-01-2007, 22:57 Aw Bam..truthfully I don't think I've got the stamina this week..at least not the way I feel today..and the doc keeps growling at me...but darn it..shroom season is short and well I can lay on the couch and play invalid some other time..LOL
It's October..it's time to be in the woods for heaven's sake....
Milky is something else too...you would be broke down by the end of the day with him.......(sighs) He was all over...not scared of a thing either......You seen him stuck in the mud, he couldn't move either.....Im sure I looked lovely draggin the kids through that.......lol...oh well they had fun and they are learning too......they are starting to spot stuff now!
If we get rain, Im going back...trust......Ill call ya.....
ok so I don't need to cancel the doc app. then.....lol.
lifestudent55 10-01-2007, 23:38 You really don't want to eat the persimmons yet BAM. Believe me. Mrs Life tried one that seemed ripe Saturday and got Gretchen and me to do the same. Be the time we got halfway through we realized Mrs life was a little off on her timing and our mouths and throats started puckering. Mrs Life is used to Korean persimmons and most of them don't have to wait till a freeze.
gretchensteele 10-02-2007, 00:08 yeah..but I did really think at first she was right and I'd been waiting until frost all these years, and really didn't have to..the fullest ripest parts were indeed good and sweet, it was that still teeny green bit by the stem that slapped me! LOL
We didn't eat em......I just took a pic.....I know where it's at though.....:)
Gretchen, I can only imagine the stuff that I overlooked too going 100 miles per hour with the kids.....
I think maybe you do need to come down sometime......and yes, seemed like the oysters were on the willows........LOTS of old dried up ones but my sd card was full and I didn't have any more on me......I didn't think I was gonna take that many pics......:)
We also seen several little white-gray spots on the treez like you showed me at Ferne.....does that mean more is gonna pop up there? I should have mark a couple places too......and if you come bring your snake boots, your gonna need em..:eek:
Just a few more.....some are blurry I know.....:):o
this first one was actually really small and still fresh....????

I wish I wouldn't have blew this one out.....I don't know what it is..it was kinda tan , round and soft......
http://www.siloutdoors.com/imagehosting/3704702608b57146.jpg
I have no clue about this mess...lol:confused:

And guess what I heard it's suppose to rain tonight....well showers....well see....
lifestudent55 10-02-2007, 11:49 The ones on the right in the first pic look like two eggs over medium but accidentally left on too long. :)
That's what I told B.....I was like ...gosh looks like a egg.....
