Love it.remember the pussycat a-go-go in Birmingham.

AKA The Cadillac Cafe?

You guys may be ahead of my time. I also found matchbooks for Lloyd's when it was still in Chelsea before Eli moved it over the mountain, the old Cabana Cafe at Brookwood, Mountain Brook Inn, El Chico's and Baby Doe's.

If I could tell something was in it, I'd open it... probably with gloves on. LOL

OK, that makes sense. I've never done the geocache thing, but I recall now that they use stuff like medicine bottles and film canisters. I had a co-worker/friend that used to be big into years ago when it first got popular (2010 'ish?). I still make fun of him for it.

I wasn't looking for it, was checking the rock I was going to sit on for snakes. Thought I'd found a dope drop or something but only had papers with names and dates on it inside.

Many of the ruins belong to those sent off the land during the Highland Clearances. Hard not to think of the history of the area. Over the last three days, I’ve walked 19, 22 and 13 miles. I’m feeling it…

Looks like a beautiful area to hike. Keep us posted on your progress and the sites.

@It Takes Eleven Are you camping or staying in hostels?

@It Takes Eleven Are you camping or staying in hostels?

Both. I’m in the distinct minority carrying a full pack for camping. Most use a baggage transfer service that moves the bulk of their belongings to their next stop and they essentially day hike with minimal items. We had overnight rain coming so I snagged a hiker pod in Tyndrum, and camped at Beinglas campsite the night before, after a 22-mile day along much of Loch Lomond. Here’s the pod, with electricity, heat and a pot for warming water. The doors make it look larger than it is. They are each 16-18 inches wide, maybe 5 1/2 feet tall. That is not a large chair sitting on the stoop.

That's neat! Is it constructed of the same material you see in the vinyl sheds at Home Depot?

Earlier, by feeling it, I meant the moss. I was wondering how moist it was.

It's the kind of trip that would seem to lend to audiobooks about the area.
