[size=large]Couldn't sit around this afternoon and do nothing, so I tossed some Mountain Dew in the cooler and headed for the cavalry camp. [/size]

[size=large] Hopped the fence and hit a couple of bullets and Spencer bases. Then got a good reading for a whole Spencer on its side; VDI 77 at 7". Cut a little larger plug than normal so the movement of the hard dirt wouldn't break it. Yep, thar she be... a little tweaking with a pocket knife and it came out whole, and in good shape for the shape it's in. Click on photos to enlarge.[/size]

[size=large]It was a nice day as longs the sun stayed behind the clouds. But when the sun came out, it was way too hot.[/size]

[size=large]I was walking through the woods, and came upon the biggest funnel spider's nest that I'd ever seen. I don't know how many of you are familiar with funnel spiders, but obviously by the name, they build a web in the shape of a funnel. I've seen many of them, but usually like 18" wide, 18" deep. The funnel spider itself is a good-sized spider, and fast as lightning. The nest in this picture is 10 feet from me; it is 3 foot high and 3 foot wide, looked like a small tornado. I saw the spider that built that behemoth, he had to weigh a half a pound. [/size]

[size=large]I think these whole Spencers look real nice in these cases. Thanks for looking y'all.
