Mar 19 Cataloochie Valley Loop Hike


It is another day on the horse rutted trails of Cataloochie. The scene above is a great example of the type trail I saw today. All the creek crossings were like the scene below, a foot bridge for us folks and a ford for the horse folks. 


All the foot bridges today had an arch like this one. Most had been newly installed in the past couple years. I understand there were some foot bridges washed out on Caldwell Fork Trail but I did not encounter any of those today.


I did follow a short spur trail to "Big Poplars". This is the only one I thought was really big. There were a few other marginally big ones and a big one on the ground. So this one was it. Look how it dominates the canopy surrounding it. A giant amid large brethren.
