What a beautiful fall day in the Upstate of SC! I did not want to waste it by staying at home being constructive and doing something worthwhile I had to get out of the house and get in the woods. Drove up to the top of Sassafras Mt. to take some pretty fall color pictures, but it was hazy and I could not get a true picture of the mountains. I'd seen the top of an old building several times on my way down the mountain;so we, Gracie and I decided to stop and see what was under that roof. Parked beside the road and walked down an old leaf covered road to this blue barn with boards missing from its side. Barn was made out of 2x4's so it wasn't that old, but still kinda neat.

A few yards away was an old chimney with the foundation pillars of the house covered with vines.We could see where a spring and holding tank had once been, nice homestead at on time.

Gracie and I walked back to the truck and passed a small flock of turkeys while driving on down the mountain.We came to another road with a red gate across it, but a green road sign naming the road Abner Creek Road, so we got the hiking shoes on, put on the day pack,grabbed the trekking poles and started walking down the road. A very nice hike on a very nice day to be in the woods.As we walked deeper into the woods this silo looking think caught our attention. What is it? If you have any idea please let me know. It is located on Wildlife Game Management Land.

A triangle hole, about 4 in. thick walls and hollow. No door into the thing!! Scary! We kept hiking and had a great hike. Never made it to the end of the road, try again another day.
By the time we got home it was time to get cleaned up and go meet my wife for our dinner date. Had a super supper meal at Longhorn Steak House and always have fun being with my wife!
In the woods or on the water,
