Enjoying the beautiful Painted Trillium was the objective
of our hike in the Thompson Wildlife area and on the Appalachian Trail on
5/4/08...
...but for many hikers it became a hunt for these: Morel
mushrooms, a prized delicacy (try $60 a pound!) that sprout for just a few
weeks every year and cannot be cultivated. This is just a portion of the hoard
collected by sharp-eyed Wanderbird, Philip Lanks.
Lake Thompson--a beautiful spot to take a break about half
way through our hike (5/4/08)
There were lots of other flowers to be seen, including this
delicate orchid, the Showy Orchis (5/4/08)
...and after the hike there were loads of special treats,
