It's becoming nearly an
annual tradition to go hiking up at Nelson Ledges; so keeping up the
pattern, Jim and I went again this October EXACTLY a year to the day
of our last visit. As with the last visit, we also took Ritchie
along with us. |

Although the Summer was pretty dry and
very hot this year, the leaves are looking very nice. Many people
were saying that the leaves would not look so good because of the
weather conditions. I was amazed by all the trees that were still
green! |
Jim and Ritchie head across
from the parking lot . . . |

. . . and up into the woods |
Although the sign says "Dangerous
Cliffs", Jim looks like the dangerous one. LOL |

When we visited early in the Summer last
year, the area was filled with millions of huge mosquitoes. This
Fall the woods were filled with fungus of ALL varieties. |

The three of us really enjoyed the hike
through the woods
and the nice drive to and from the state park. |
