I like how this piece has a long climb up a valley. It's all graded very gently until you get to the very top where it's a little steeper.
This is Crowned Clavaria, or whatever they're calling it these days. A nice patch.
The leaves weren't turning very much yet. The sassafras is getting yellow, which is what 98% of it does. But every once in a while, one will go to red.
This maple leaf is getting with the September program, but it didn't have many buddies yet.
Today was non-stop. I had to meet someone at the trail at 10 am, and after we hiked I just had time to eat and clean up before bell choir. Then I had to make a stop in town, get gas and a couple of grocery items. Managed to soak two outfits and two pairs of shoes in one day. I didn't sleep much last night. I don't think I'll be upright much longer.
