  • In this off trail adventure, Luke is hunkering down underneath a tarp as a severe thunderstorm rolls into the area.
    BOOM - the ground shakes as the lightning strikes and the thunder echos amongst the mountains!
    Due to a mistake that Luke made, he's forced to leave the safety of his shelter and face the storm before it is TOO LATE!

    a few local kids a number of years ago found the tire while they were looking for quartz stones in the creek at the bottom of the hill. they decided that rolling tire to the top of the hill and then
    kicking it back down to see how far it would go would be more fun than looking for quartz stones, of which they had found quite a few, and their pockets were full of them. it took them most
    of the rest of the day to get the tire to the top of the hill. they took a short breather, and then found the perfect spot to kick the tire down the hill (it was real steep at that spot). the tire went fast and for a long ways and after a while they couldn't hear it crashing through the trees anymore. they were still tired from hard trip up the hill with the tire and decided to rest some more before
    heading back down. turned out a couple of the kids had slings with them they had made for throwing stones (as in david and golieth), and they didn't really want to haul all those quartz stones
    back down the hill. so, they all unloaded their pockets and took turns to see how far they could throw their stones, and the stones were just the right size for throwing with the slings.
    they got a lot of really good throws, and they peppered the whole side of the mountain with those quartz stones, having a great time at it.
    i think they all got home before dark. so, Luke, now you know all about the tire and the white stones. did you notice that all the stones you picked up were all the same size?

    Great job finding the tractor tire!!! I believe it got there during in the early 1900’s, when the mountains there were recovering from the deforestation that took place in the late 1800’s by the lumber companies that harvested the trees for America’s building material end of the 1800’s, and new growth trees planted after, were sparse and a tractor could be used to move about and across the mountain.

    01:40 Very interesting old indian trail marker tree there. At least that's what it looks like. If anyone's curious, American Indians used to use bent trees as trail markers, though there is some debate about the extent and prevalence of this practice. They would intentionally bend young saplings to create distinctive shapes that served as navigational aids. These trees, also known as trail trees, marker trees, or signal trees, were used to designate trails and paths, mark crossing points on streams, indicate locations of medicinal plants, point to areas of significance like council circles, and/or warn of dangers ahead.
    To create a trail marker, a Native American would select a sapling about 3/4 inch in diameter and bend it in the desired direction. The bent sapling would be secured using rawhide, bark, vines, or weighted down with rocks or dirt. After about a year, the tree would be locked into this bent position and continue growing in that shape. Authentic Indian trail trees typically have a sharp bend about 4-5 feet off the ground. The bent portion runs parallel to the ground for some distance before turning upward again and often points to a significant landmark or in the direction of a trail.
    That's what that tree looked like that you passed there Luke. 'Least, to me.

    Luke, I think the stones you find are brought there by crows. The stones all have rounded edges, indicating they come from a stream or river. Crows are known to be attracted by light-colored or shiny objects, and they are also known to "decorate" areas of consistent color such as your green forest. Those stones are the perfect size for them to pick up and carry.

    It's gotta be the tire of some forestry vehicle.

If it's an older tire, environmental protection laws were likely way less strict back then.

    That tree bent over then back up at 1:44 is an Indian trail marker. I grew up in western North Carolina and some of my Cherokee friends told me about this trail marker method. Indian highway markers. Cool.

      I have heard of these before, if you take a compass sight along either side of the horizontal and average it out, then carry on, on that bearing will you come to another ? The white stones, a bird using them for nut smashing ? Or white stones reflecting what little sunlight there is and burning/killing the moss above it so they always stay on top ? Tractor tyre, I'd say too small for skidder. Got there when the woods were last cut over. Are there any never cut-over areas round there ?

    That forest looks like it's replanted. Where I live the forests were clear cut for lumber and firewood by the late 19th century and replanted in rows that looked just like that in the 1930s by the CCC. That tire looks to be left over from when that area was open fields. It's in a forest now but there was no forest there when the tire was left behind.

    In regards to the logging or forest service equipment tire there may be a date code on it to determine age. I'm not a vastly experienced hiker but I have come across forest areas that have old logging access roads where the forest plant life has reclaimed it - barely detectable. If you look at the patterns of the larger trees often you can see an open swath where the road was. As you well know mountains seem to have their own micro weather systems - must always be prepared. I've been caught in hail, snow, lightning and rain runoffs on the sides of mountain trails - not fun but survivable if you're ready for it.
