A trail stick to a Friend
Not all of Uncle Dan's wood spirits go on the trail. This one was sent to a good friend. On the back is carved the words "Looking after you Laddie". I think this Hulk Hogan looking Irish cop with a bit of of attitude was just want the doctor ordered
Wood spirits in various stages of becoming
Some are now on the trail and some are still evolving
Before carving, this is the stick
Above is the finished carving
This is the finished version compared to the uncarved version below
Some of the wood spirits have more elaborate hair-do
Trail Stick number 15 was left along a trail in the Shenandoah National Park
This one is awaiting you on a trail off of the Skyline Drive
The trail stick awaits you
Perhaps a trail stick for Robby will one day emerge for the stream crossings
Ready to hit the trail
Some last longer on the trail then others
Uncle Dan releases number 7 for the trail
trail stick number 7
Each trail stick indicates its need to walk along the trail forever
Trail stick number six
The Kudzu Vinehas great twists but tough to hold the cuts
Trail stick number 4, Kudzu vine
Trail stick number 6 ready to walk the trails
Trail stick number six ready for assignment
trail sticks in stages of preparation
Finding the right downed tree limb leads to the best trail stick.

Here in Las Cruces, the sticks would be covered in green goo from mashing the inescapable green and yellow sphinx moth cateripillers which are invading just now! But I do fondly remember using good old #1 and enjoying the fall foliage in D.C. Love, Judy
Dear Uncle Dan,
I found stick #4 in the woods near friendship heights / tenleytown in early may. My friend just found #13 near the same place. Your hiking sticks are incredible. Please email me at marselluswallace17@gmail.com I'd like to learn more
