It was only later that it came closer and could see that it was being done by a group of small planes, very high up. I wondered what it could be. Then I realized it was skywriting....an advertisement for GEICO insurance!

Aliens? No...just a GEICO advertisement
While out yesterday, I spotted this very odd pattern coming across the sky toward me. What could it be? Aliens? UFO?

Collecting Indian Artifacts
I spent most of today on my hands and knees with about 20 other people, looking for Native American artifacts at Waterworks Park in Macon, GA. Someone screwed up and partially plowed up an archeological area a few weeks ago and exposed quite a bit of material. Area archeologists are working to collect and map the material that is at the surface due to the damage, and are planning for future dig areas.
We collected about 500 or so pieces of pottery, a few spearpoints, a couple of other tools, and flint flakes in about 5 hours of looking. This is on top of about 1,000 pieces that have already been collected in the last 2 weekends. One more weekend, and the site should be fully searched.
The top photo is of a bead (split) that was found, and below it are two typical pieces of pottery. Most of the stuff we found was from the recent past (1600-1750), although one of the spearpoints was of a style common around 10,000 years ago.

Fall Leaves
I joined a small group of friends and hiked around 7.5 miles on the Pine Mountain Trail as a dayhike. It reminded me how out of shape that I have gotten. It took 2 days for my calves to stop hurting! Walking on flatground is a lot different that up and down the hills and over the rocks!
The trees were turning toward their oranges and reds in a few places. In others, the leaves were already beginning to fall.

A few people said that they couldn't see my Smoky Mountain shots over on my Facebook page, and wanted to see them here. So here are a few....as always, click to see a bigger version of the photo.
