We spent a few days at Crossroads, getting a few chores done and letting Ferny Kat get over her attitude. For some reason, she fusses a lot at Bogue Chitto, and she ran away twice last week. (Although, she didn't go far or stay gone but a few minutes). Needless to say, she now has territory restrictions when she is outside the camper. She was as content as she could be the whole time we were at home.
We had a goal on Wednesday and Thursday to hike the Bird Dog Biking/Hiking Trail and the Zephyr Biking/Hiking Trail. Not only did we hike the 4 miles of biking/hiking trails, we also hiked portions of the Gorge Trail. We exceeded our expectations by 8.5 miles for a total of 12.5 miles of hiking in two days.
We hiked the Gorge Run Trail Wednesday morning from the camper to the Gorge boardwalk and back. As usual, we enjoyed the nature along the trail.
We hiked the Bird Dog Trail Wednesday afternoon. It had a lot of tree canopy cover and was quite buggy. We saw some interesting things along the way. Our total miles walking today was 7.5 with 36 flights.
Thursday we got a total of 5 miles of hiking in along with 15 flights on the Zephyr Trail. It was much more appealing to us than the Bird Dog Trail with plenty of interesting nature finds.
Friday morning after we walked the Disc Golf course, we found a spur of the Gorge Run Trail we didn't know about. We hiked the mile and a half round trip of the spur that meandered through some wetlands. Our total hiking/picture taking for today was 6.6 miles along with 19 flights. Us flatlanders are finally getting better acclimated to the terrain.
Friday afternoon, our Camp Host week began.
Saturday, we went for a stroll along the Gorge Trail checking out a plant we had seen when we first got here. While I was waiting on the trail for Lauren, (who was off the beaten path), a tree with a hollow hole, caught my eye. I thought it would be a cool picture. After I got back to camp and was editing the pictures, I realized there was a Gray Rat Snake in the hole. I had no clue he was watching me!
After we finished our rounds for the day, we had a cute Coon family pay a visit at camp.
