This is on Fairgrounds Road. Officially this is just listed as a parking area, but I'm sure with the equestrians, many camp out here in the summer.

Heading down towards Beaver Creek.

So I was walking along Quaker Road and stumbled upon a gut pile. I wanted to take a look and see if there were anything interesting in the pile - I figured any antlers would be gone and it would mostly rib cage but maybe scull. I looked at it and realized it was too big for a deer, it was a cow carcass.

I so wanted to take this hoof and leg, basically everything below the shank, and bring it home with me but I decided against it. If this had been yesterday I would have brought it back to camp, put it in a pot boiled and scraped off as much of the fur and meat as possible for a euro style paper weight. Probably would have needed to put in a bucket with lye drain cleaner when I got home to get the remainder off and then maybe soak in bleach.

But alas I'm several miles from camp and I didn't want to carry around all morning then bring back to Delmar and cook on my inside stove off the rotting meat especially with my windows closed. Plus it's the hoof that's really neat and to seperate that off I'd need a bone saw which I don't own though maybe my wood saw would have worked.
