Title: More from Lime Island
Post by: Jeff on August 08, 2003, 08:14:37 AM
The plants in this picture are secondary. Lets figure out what those are but what the true challenge is, whats hiding in those weeds? ;D

I found this object up in the woods on a hike. I'll just say it was all I could do to move it a little to get a good picture of it. After ya'll give up, I'll post that picture. One hint, the iron object is about 6 foot wide, or long, or however you look at it.

Looks like a piece of railroad track rail, if the piece in the second pic is all that we are to "consider".

DanG NORM!  You aint no fun. How'd you cheat?:D

Yep, an anchor out in the woods. I'd like to have put it in my pocket and took it home. It has a broken shank so I guess thats why it got hauled out there who knows when.
O.K. Smart guy, lets figure the plants out eh?

If I were toting an anchor, I would have thought of that as a good spot to drop it. ;D
