    Default Just for fun.. A misplaced but well intentioned blaze.

    I live on the beachside about 30 miles from the FT, so I thought it would be fun to blaze my mail box! I miss the trail in between trips so a daily reminder of where I wish I could be makes me happy. My 15 y/o son (who has a few FT trips under hip belt) seems to think we will come home to find a tent and and a camp fire in our side yard :-)

    Oh wow. This made me laugh. I have seen real blazes in some strange places, I thought this was actually on the trail.

    For my birthday this past year my wife gathered a piece of bark from a tree, which her folks were cutting for firewood to heat their home this winter, and painted a white blaze on it. She then found a deep set picture frame and mounted it. It's hanging on my bedroom wall! Best gift ever!!

    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    I've got a real white blaze on my house.
    The trail is ever winding and the party moves every night.

    I white-blazed a small evergreen at the top of a tiny hill on the side of my property in southeast Michigan. I fondly recall the northern half of the Long Trail every time I'm lugging something up the hill to the burn pile.

    I blaze most of our town land trust trails with white paint. That way I'm reminded of the joys of a long walk whenever I show up to build a bog bridge, cut a blowdown, or cut some more bushes.

    I am going to do that on my mailbox. I wonder how long it will be before someone figures out what it is.
    Enough is OK, too much is just right.

    Someone took out my mailbox and drug it almost .5 miles! A friend and fellow hike spotted on the side of road and brought it back to my house. I did not know it had been hit but knew it was mine because of the blaze. Thanks Jay Blaze!

    Thank goodness for the blaze, or you might not have recognized the 115
