Bobby's Booty Blog

When hiking 3000 miles, entertainment on the trail becomes more valuable with each passing day. Thus, finding the best piece of “trail booty” (interesting stuff you stumble upon along the way) has become highly entertaining for us. It can be natural – like the obsidian crystal Jessie found, the Nez Perce arrowhead Bobby found, or feathers from Ravens, Sandhill Cranes, Great Horned Owls, Ruffed Grouse, Lesser Scaups, etc. Or, it can be man-made. Good stuff so far includes old maps, stuffed animals, coins (Cody has .92c to her credit), a tow chain, sled dog booties, 3 plastic sleds, a winch, a set of keys, a wrench, and a gerber utility knife. Best finds overall....
