After scouting for work projects in the area, I walked offtrail along Betty McGee Creek by the Thornburg access to the Birkhead Wilderness. In past years, I have seen Golden Club blooming along the creek near the Thornburg Trail. There were none in that area, so further upcreek I walked. About a quarter mile later, they began appearing in alcoves and sheltered areas along the creek.
I suspect that gold panning activity in the creek may have affected the distribution of the plants.
