May 13 MST Beacon Heights


Hemlock Varnish Shelf polypore found along the MST below Beacon Heights. This should be a familiar sight even more so in the near future as we will have many more decaying Hemlocks. 


The Three Top scramble for today was cancelled - rain in the forecast. I managed to walk this nice trail from the parkway to a forest service road and back. There weren't many wildflowers to see but I did manage to spot this small Lady Slipper display.


The sky was clear when I began at 7 but looked like this 2 hours later.

May 17 Staircase to Mt Pisgah
