The month has been quiet so far, but has also been warmer than normal in the areas I frequent. In the last few weeks I have been working primarily two areas, with preference for one as the one I was working earlier in the season has been just plain quiet. In the meantime, I have been doing lots of bushwhacking in search of those trails that arent the blue blazed ones, that arent that obvious. I have found two in particular of good promise. One affords access to areas along the high ground of the area where night ops can take advantage of that while watching the valley below.

The other is a trail that connects one area to another that I wasnt previously aware of of. As we are in the planning stage of Project Listening Post, I have found two good spots for this project and with this connector trail I have found a stealthy way into areas I havent been in in a long time, so exploration there is long overdue. Other highlights from the month, I had a near encounter with yet another moose, I almost stepped in Bear poo, and narrowly avoided falling down a small cliff.

In the next few days, I’ll be doing some recon in Vermont, gauging Listening Post areas there as well. Stay tuned.
