Up in the Texas Hill Country was a few hundred acres with a line shack on it. It was big enough for bunk beds, and a sheep herder stove. At some point an outhouse was added on to the shack with a removable honey pot made out of an old wash tub. Whenever it got half full, some poor soul would have to drag it out and empty it.

A fella I know decided to go hang out at the shack for few days and relax. He got all settled in and soon discovered there was a woodpecker flying around the cabin. He tried to chase it out the front door but the woodpecker headed to the outhouse and he shut the door behind it, he figured it would fly out the bottom and problem solved. About an hour an later he opened the door to the outhouse and the woodpecker was still in there, he batted the bird with his hand and it fell in the honey pot. The pissed off woodpecker come up out of the honey pot covered in chit and proceeded to flog the man in the face and sling chit all over the walls before it went out the front door.

I hate a woodpecker.

Camping in old cabins is really fun. Way back when I stumbled on a cabin while working on a timber sale. During the winter when things had slowed down I did a little research. Using old maps I found cabin site was called 7UP Cedars. A friend of mine who was really up on local history said the cabin had been used by cowboys when the ranchers drove the cattle into the high country. The cabin was near a wet area with some big ceder trees so I got that part. I later found out 7UP was an old card game.

My dad and I trekked in there a couple times to spend the night but never saw any bucks. One time I took my son along when he was pretty young and he still remembers it. My dad and I always got up while it was still dark and had a cup of coffee. David stuck his head out of his sleeping bag, mumbled something and disappeared . I rib him about that to this day.
