G'mornin FORSAKEN! Well, I survived the weekend, but just barely (or should that be bear-ly?)
Tina had told me that we were going blueberry picking in Virginia. She DID NOT tell me we were going to the Dolly Sods Wilderness area in West Virginia! A four hour drive followed by a four hour hike carrying a fifty pound backpack through some of the roughest trails in Eastern USA. Ugh!
But once we got to the top of the mountain, OH MY GODS! Fields of wild blueberry bushes literally stretching as far as the eye can see! Millions upon millions of wild blueberries, all right there for the picking. We had blueberry pancakes, blueberry hot chocolate, blueberry tea, blueberry smores, blueberries by the handful, and now I AM SO SICK OF BLUEBERRIES!
DesktopHippie, we saw lots and lots of bear tracks, but didn't actually see any bears in person. Most of them are so human-shy that if we had come face to face with a bear, they would have just run away. Wildlife in the area includes black bear, whitetail deer, wild turkey, grouse, snowshoe hare, cottontail rabbit, bobcat, and a variety of rodents. Snakes such as garter, grass, and ring necked are common, and timber rattlesnakes may occur, but we didn't see any.
The kids had a great time though. There was a VERY cold mountain stream with an old fashioned swimming hole. Temperatures got down into the 30's during the night, and after a week of 100+ heat it felt GREAT! Right up to the time we had to hike the same four hours back out, and then drive home again.

Ahhhh... it's good to be back at work where I can relax!

All the talk of beautiful woodland creatures got me mighty hungry.

I, too, love the Spotted Owl.
In a garlic sauce, it's a tasty fowl!
