July 31 Boone Fork Loop


Lovely day for a hike here in Julian Price Memorial Park. We started with a drive out Holloway Mountain Road to a wide spot in the road where the Tanawha Trail crosses. No signs here, you just have to know where it is. After a trial and error scouting hike, I knew just where to go. We saw so many mushrooms, especially boletes today. It seemed they were everywhere. Our small group of 6 padded around the loop in the wet, very wet and slippery terrain. Unbeknownst to any of us, one of our cohorts injured her wrist in a fall on a slick portion of the trail. We learned later, also learned nothing broken just a nasty sprain.


Here is our lunch spot. The water was cool when I waded out for this shot. Can you spot the plastic water bottle?


Our tree hugging, barefoot countess holds on while the rest of us foolishly investigate the MST ford of Boone Fork.
