Marker 8.5: Oh Deer


Removed 04/04
The deer on the trail are shy
but plentiful if you look
A tail, a blur is all many see
but you will spot one for your book

After passing marker 8.5
Make note of the speed posting
Go too fast
and you'll miss the deer sighting

The path will curve left
and seem to disappear
It is after this bend that you
are very near
Look left, or to the north
For a gap in the bushes and trees
It is just before this spot
That you want to be

A tree with many trunks stands to the left of the gap
A circle faces you
The rounded end of a log
cut in two

Between this log and the tree
you will reach.
Brush away the grass
it isn't very deep.

Oh Dear, Oh Deer, a deer!
