Pictures of unusual things seen on the trail

I always enjoy finding unusual things when hiking. Some make you smile, some make you sad, some just totally surprise you. While labeling my recent pictures I decided to share some. Some may be familiar, others you might make a guess, or maybe you can identify the egg.

Share your unusual finds.

I wish I could. The pictures I have of unusual things are in my head, and technology just isn't there yet with the brain downloads.

Thanks, for sharing your pictures. I like things like that.

I have started taking pictures of unusual things on my bike rides. Like yesterday, rcycling back from the Adirondacks, I saw this:

I prefer pizza and beer.

Great Pictures. I especially liked the "anybody home." It reminded me of an Alice in Wonderland House. Really neat!

We found this on state land while bushwhacking in the Hurricane Primitive Area in the ADKs this spring.

spiffy! Is the fireplace the one on Mt Starr King?

I especially like finding sign typos. I was up on Howker Ridge Tr two wks ago & remember seeing the misspelled sign but did not take a picture. Here's one from a few years back of Rim Junction on Basin Rim in Evans Notch:

For a while the town line sign (not a hiking picture, slightly offtopic) on Bear Notch Road leading south from Bartlett read "Alabany":

but they fixed it within the last year or two.

Carole,

I too am pretty amazed at some of the things I've come accross, though most of the time I find them bushwhacking OFF trail.

There was a thread about 1 month ago that was similar.

-CHECK IT OUT- for some additional pictures of "weird" finds

Here is a cool one...

Also bushwacking...

I peice of metal stuck inside a tree. I'm not sure what it was, but it was kinda creepy for some reason out there in the wood all alone seeing that up in a tree.

Odd Pics - Link Fixed (I hope)

Brent, I'm not the owner of your album, so I can't see it.

Carole, for the life of me, I can't tell what that blurry thing is in your "roar" picture. Is it just a burl that you thought was a bear, or is that actually an animal of some kind?

Never mind, Carole; I can see it now that I'm home and I have a clear view of it. I couldn't make out anything on the lousy monitors I have at work.

OK. One thing I like are unusual signs. To those around there, these signs may not be unusual, but to a northeast mentality they are.

The strangest thing I've come across on the trail is a hairy, bare-chested, chain-saw weilding.... wait a second... Pete Hickey has a picture of it.

I hope I fixed the link. I alwasy forget that my link to the webshot album is a private link vs. the "public" link.

Sorry...
