![]() (Seemingly even bigger than the ‘sea of ferns’ at Lake Como resort in Florida. The forest itself is quite picturesque too here is a “field” of ferns. If you go to the edge of the forest, you may get some picturesque views of the fields.īut I don’t think you’re allowed to venture out onto those fields. It reminded me of the abandoned settlement of several houses, also in the woods of Pennsylvania, that we discovered 3 years ago, and where a car with bullet holes also rusted… But here, it was just this one car with nothing else around… Which by now is impossible to guess how it got there, being completely surrounded by trees. (Some trees were actually full of these caterpillars – what’s happening this year? Not enough birds to eat them?)Īs we went on a hike, we saw a very old rusty car in the middle of the woods, We weren’t the only ones around to climb trees We thought it was fun to climb walk up the trees using those □ Well, now it’s gone (pretty much entirely rotten), and the only thing left are the ropes hanging on the trees. Maybe you also remember that “floating bed” in the woods at Sunny Rest 2 years ago. It was the first time I used my GoPro camera in this way, so next time it’ll be better (I have some ideas for free-running/chasing vids, stay tuned!) Here is a recap video for you that we made with Peter, so you get an idea of what it was like. In other words, it was still lots of fun □ This time the trail was a bit easier in terms of lack of very steep uphills/downhills and extended parts where you had to run over wet rocks and roots, like last year, but there was more running through the tunnels of rhododendron bush and a pretty long uphill part towards the end of the race (where some of the frontrunners almost stopped). But it doesn’t really make sense to compare the results here rigorously, as the track and length of the race varies from year to year. Although Dunham ran his first nude race (one of the Butts’ down in South Carolina) to accrue points in a point-based competition put on by a local running magazine, the Hockomock Swamp Rat (the competition ran every three years between 20 and spanned the entire year), he’s not shy about admitting he enjoyed it. My result (30:51) has improved by a lot compared to the previous, but it wasn’t as good as in 2013 (even though I was 7th) and 2012 (when I was 3rd). Sunny Rest Resort is tucked away in rural northeast Pennsylvania. Most of my naked runner fellows couldn’t join me this time, including Casey, who came first last year but had an injury this June. Standing beside my car, I took my clothes off. A couple of weeks ago, I participated in a trail race that has now become a yearly tradition for me – 4th time at the ‘Bouncing Buns’ race at Sunny Rest, PA, with the 5th result overall out of about 130 participants.
