    After 7 miles of walking....found my first of '10. (found 3 more!!!)

    Molly (my dog) and I found our first shed of the year this evening. We got a little wet because of the rain but it was worth it. I found this 44 2/8th inch shed laying in a field as I was making my way back to the truck. I tried to get Molly to find it on her own before I handled it. She walked right by it. :D Oh well, I knew training her to find them wouldn't be easy.

    As it lay

    Sounds like a great day Finch. I've yet to get out. One more trade show this weekend, and then I am gonna get out for a walk or two.

    Thanks everyone!!!

    I found 3 more today after I got off work. I actually found all three within 10 minutes. Shed #2 was within 10 yards of shed #1.

    Pic quality may not be the greatest....had to use the cell. I kinda washed my pocket camera in the washing machine last night. :D

    Thanks Duke! This is looking to be my year. I've walked 9 miles so far and found 4. Last year I walked about 30 and only found one!
