Still a Gem!
Ran this mid-morning right after a small, straggler of a rain cell went over. Shoes got a little wet in the grass but feet didn’t get wet until the beginning of Hermit’s Way. After that, I was able to keep them dry. I thought I might be able to do this without RunGo but chickened out and let Rachel be my guide. I think the dancing 'shroom heads is a new sculpture:
Shortly after turning onto Hermit’s Way, I saw something the size of a large black cat but with a long bushy tail run across the trail into the brush. Might have been a cat but I’m thinking it was something like a marten, or maybe a small fisher?. Later in the day, I saw something very similar run into the brush from Baldwin Road at Kennedy SF. Another cat there? Wish I’d gotten more than a glimpse.
In the past, when Rachel RunGo told me to look at Jack’s Dragon, I assumed she was referring metaphorically to this old piece of machinery across the creek, which is what I focused on then:
This course is so scenic with the interesting, varied woods, and streams, and spring flowers! As I was running, I kept remembering what was ahead and wondering how it would all be squeezed into the remaining distance. There is a large swath of mayapples:
and if you like trilliums… get your feet out there now! When you reach the Lehigh Valley trail at just over a mile to go, thousands of trilliums greet you from both sides of the trail:
Thanks for the fisher confirmation, Julie! Lime Hollow is pretty awesome! Next time I’m there on a weekend, I’ll stop inside… and tell you of my very cool first fisher encounter near Heiberg Memorial Forest.
