Thread for posting your own innawoods experiences. I worked Missouri contracting for Ameren electric hiking out over 1,500 miles of backwoods lines through dense forests and too many farm lands and ranches to count.>Love hiking, asked boss for all innawoods maps>Huge backlog, turns out only one other guy likes hiking, everyone else wants city driving work>Almost every day I'm out in the forest practically getting paid to hike 8-12mi a day>LOTS of nice doggies and cows, got to be around life a lot which was also very funThis was my usual day/week/month of the job>Over the time in my work, I came across many abandoned and strange things>Too many old and rusted out cars to count>Houses and barns collapsing far from any road that still exists>Drug shacks, pot farms, shot out cars>Rotting carcasses, liquidated cow, piles of bonesI have two experiences I'll relay here>Deep innawoods following out subtrans lines miles out from the main highway>Alley is probably on the backhalf of the cutting cycle, very overgrown>Come to clearing in trees and brush, large, long barn out in the middle of fucking nowhere>Huge fucking fans on the end that are spinning>No people, pallets, or signs to say what it is>No lot or road out either, maybe ATV access onlyNo idea what it was but there was powerMy strangest one by far is coming across an entire culdesac in the middle of the woods that was completely abandoned>Another subtrans line>Dropdown to distribution into a literal cutoff culdesac of houses>Road out is completely gone/overgrown, straight into fullsize trees>Cars still in driveway, things still in yard and on porches>Went up to one (never in), could see plates on table and stuff inside housesFinding old houses was common, but never came across an entire street of them.I really loved that job. We worked solo, set our own hours, and chose our maps.Feel free to ask questions, I have many more stories that I'm only remembering by going through pictures.
I heard a wampus
>>39252326Some other things>Came across a small, puddle deep stream>Stream of death>6 - 7 skeletons of deer(?) in the water and caught in rootsAnd pic related>Came across a skinned and gutted cow miles from property owner's barn>Skin is all one piece, no cuts>Snapped pic and kept on goingIs this something ranchers do? Skin the cow and take the meat right there in the field? Do they usually skin in all in one go without cutting it into different sections first?
>>39252326I'm a Missouri native, but the closest I've gotten to what you do is going mushroom hunting when I was younger.
>>39252326/x/ is dead, a good fucking thread pops up & gains 0 traction. Anyways I'd like to know/see more OP.
>>39252574Thankfully, because realistically fuck meeting anything innawoods, the only real kinda scary thing was wildlife. Bears, big cats, and packs of dogs, and so on. I always carried, but I still wouldn't like to try my luck. Fuck ticks. The only time that I ran was actually for weather>Get on-site around 630>Sky is overcast, sun not really coming out, raining on and off>The entire time from 630 to 10 I'm thinking it looks like sunset>Roadside in the forest a ways from my jeep, peeping some poles when it happensI've been in all types of storms. Socal desert to whiteout northern Alaskan to Hawaiian hurricanes. I've never seen this before nor since>Literal wall of darkness moving towards me>Like midnight black was approaching me physically >I am SPRINTING back to my jeep, trying to literally outrun the black>Toss my cones in and throw myself inside as the sky fucking opens up Called off that day, too many lightening strikes. Was one of the worst storms in the region in years apparently. Pic semi related, same week outside my apartment featuring my work truckI've seen other weird oddities like half way buried cars and a rather friendly cow with no eyes. I'm going through my collection of photos and remembering as I go>>39252557
>>39252369What the actual fuck dude. Did you examine this up close? Superficially did you observe any incisions that clearly showed this was done with a blade, and did you see any indications of scorching / cauterization?
