Friday:
Leaddog opens another season of the esteemed FAMHC, solo. A traverse of the Yellow Trail is accomplished, with a flyby of the two 10 point watches. Into the Duck hole and out to the first clearing where finally the beginning of a rub is seen. There were several other small rubs seen throughout the day but not like this one. A slow walk out to camp to an awaiting Robba where it was conveyed that “It” is still here!

Saturday:
A saturation of the AOI is planned, hopefully to figure out what is going on. Nick takes the Yellow trail to the Upper Watch where he stays for some time, and then moves up to Spikes Rock. Robba takes Jamie to the Notch area and unleashes him there, and goes to the other clearing where sign is seen, but other “sign” is seen thus disrupting the normal cadence of the MegaMule. This observation is not discussed here in detail for security reasons….but it most likely has resulted in the MegaMule relocating himself to avoid future encounters with this other “sign” 😉
Leaddog and Zach travels to the Drinking Cup on Hooter Ridge, Zach staying at that level with Leaddog going to the Amphitheater and pushing the top towards the Field and the watchers below. From that elevation, Leaddog thought he heard the astronauts talking from the ISS flying by….Both meet in the Field, Zach drops to the 10 point watch, Leaddog figures he’d travel to the end of Liz next to Beaver Valley Outlet. Sign is seen, this is where he may be “at times”. Jamie reports through his wanderings that a rub is seen, which most likely is from the MegaMule.
Yes….”It” is still here indeed!

Sunday:
The three DIT’s hits the “southern Zone” to see if they can chase down a small buck, which was for naught, They did here something in the woods just out of sight, most likely the two “girls”
Robba and Leaddog stays at camp to perform the winter change out concerning the water system and other camp worthy chores. This is usually done by the Polecat – who is not at camp due to a medical issue.

A good crew appears to be in order next weekend, hopefully something will happen in our favor!

Another season has begun!
Saturday:
All (mostly) gathers once again to chase mules across the land! Two DIT’s are present, finally some young blood to spill! A hunt to the School Bus watch is planned, but the issue is which “SB” is the target? Polecat hits and sits a probable SB target….yep you heard it “sits”! Lindy goes long and sits in the area of Billy’s watch. Toucher sits low in the Cathedral Watch, with Probie being somewhere in between. Leaddog takes the two DIT’s, Nick and Jamie as drivers to Camp Knob. Jamie is low with Nick on Camp Knob while Leaddog goes through Camp Valley towards the infamous “800 foot cliff”. Having com issues only the two DIT’s can hear each other, and even further Nick decides to go Indian (no PC crap here) and leaves his GPS in the hands of Spike back at camp! Jamie finds Polecat, Leaddog finds the two and three mules are sent to Lindy on watch. On the egress the two DIT’s stumble into the Toucher, stealth-fully hidden on watch, after a quick salutation the two DIT’s learns the hard way out to camp. A trail is 65 feet from the Toucher which was not taken by the two, so a bearing towards the cable is taken and off they went, cross country. They saw some nice country on the way however!
All returns to Camp and a mule steak feast is devoured.

Sunday:
A run of the Bunny Hill is considered. Polecat once again on watch at the end, with Leaddog watching the “backdoor” by the cable. Toucher is now the drive boss, and with the three DIT’s in tow they go the their starting point. All perform well and hits the Notch and then continues on part two, Nick takes the Dark Side back to camp. Apparently a mule runs past Polecat, just out of site and nothing is observed by the other watchers/drivers. All returns to camp with nothing else seen.

***Leaddog will add the funny stuff here***
