Ok, so here's the plan! Today is going to be busy. It's already past noon and I've hardly begun my "tasks" for the day. But somehow the computer keeps calling me back. So, a few words, a few pics and I'm done. Then on to a few phone calls, a few prayers (for a job interview tomorrow!) and so it goes.

| Into the woods thru the boggy areas! |
 |
| Some of really wet areas along the trail. |
Moss and lichens are everywhere in these woods. |
 |
Teaberry or American Wintergreen
Chew on the leaves or make tea
and the berries are edible too.
Official name: Gaultheria procumben. |
 |
Blue Berries of some sort...now a
research project! |
 |
Then there are the high points, Apple Pie Hill at 209 feet above sea level
is the highest point in the Pine Barrens. The tower adds another 60 feet total. |
 |
On really clear days, from the fire tower,
you can see Atlantic City and in perfect weather, some of
Philadelphia. |
 |
| Westward home. |
Oh, I'm here in the California desert where it's dry and sunny... and I miss the Oregon forest! But the sunshine is nice... Great photos! Good luck on the job!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! We've had 4 muggings on Table Mountain hiking routes this month - so sad. We have such beautiful hikes and now one really thinks twice before going out there. I don't suppose you have that problem... Hope all went well with the job interview!
