|
| Far off the beaten track, but it pays to be safe during hunting season. |
|
 |
|
| With 24,000 acres in the Wilderness Area, Molly is in her element! |
|
 |
|
| Checking out a mossy boulder... |
|
 |
|
| On the trail |
|
 |
|
| Mossy tree trunks and cascades I should have brought my tripod for slow water flows... |
|
 |
|
| Molly, catching a scent... |
|
 |
|
| Mossy rocks in creek bed |
|
 |
|
| "Where does this so-called trail go now?" The old logging trails are rapidly disappearing... |
|
 |
|
| Looking back down the old trail One of the few areas where the trail is still easily recognizable... |
|
 |
|
| The old logging roads are getting grown up with small trees not to mention lots of big fallen ones... |
|
 |
|
| This section is relatively flat. |

| Old mossy tree trunks in creek bed. |

|
| Another old fallen tree |
|
 |
|
| Up on a ridge |
|
 |
|
| Wild muscadine grape vines. We saw others as big around as a person's leg. |
|
 |
|
| Evergreens along top of the next ridgeline. |
|
 |
|
| Bush-whacking on our way back |
|
 |
|
| Someone's been hanging around the cats too much! |
