The narrow path is winding along the river.
As you can see, it gets very tricky dodging limbs and tromping through mud.
Now we are winding uphill and the path is overgrown and hard to follow and I'm watching out for poison ivy.
A cute little chipmunk ran right across my toes and we catch glimpses of deer running away from us. They were probably here eating these berries that are hard to avoid.
We come out of the brush and find the trail a little demanding as we step over the branches and rocks and wind around trees. We've gone one and three quarter miles and the gps unit says we are getting close but we'll have to go off trail and do a little steep climbing through the brush.
Can you see the cache?
I'll take a keychain and leave one.
Steep going back down so you have to grab onto a tree now and then to slow yourself down so that you don't run right into the river.
The trail leads us to the park campgrounds. Hooray! Bathrooms!
I made note of this nice campsite by the river. I might want to pitch a tent there in warm weather.

Thanks so much for posting this to
my group
it is amazing that birds can eat things we cannot w/o the threat of the toxins..
We don't use a compass or map. We use a little handheld GPS tracking device.
thanks!
I want a GPS so we can go geocaching. It sounds like a great hobby.
