Paula was busy with salamanders on her last day.


I got a pet, too

We also found some ginseng



And some Indian cucumber.

We had a gorgeous, clear day

We met HIO (Hog on ice), and he introduced to his customized chair/sleeping hammock



Yellow wood sorrel

More chicken of the woods 

A red maple leaf

It was GREAT to have Paula join me for the past five days. She didn’t even get annoyed when I kept stopping to look at birds and plants!! I invited her to come back soon.

Back to hiking solo,
