Took a hike at the Wright's Lake Trail today. I'm working on checking off all of the local trails for the year – High Bluff, Garden of Eden, Wright's, and St. George. Just one left to take in before the hot weather hits. It's been written up before, but here are some pics from today. As always, click to embiggen.
Recent control burn. Looks messy, but it is very necessary. If it looks like something out of Area X, that's because, well, it is.
Zooming in on a couple of the palmetto heads, you can see the green sprouting back out. Beautiful, healthy, and a natural part of these woods.
One of the big slumps, aka nascent sinkholes. Nicely burned, to the waterline.
Easy to see the path today.
Walking this bridge is a true leap of faith. Here it is in dryer times. About a foot deep over the top of the bridge at present. The blue thing on the right is a trail marker blaze.
Little to no cell coverage of the area, so I simply put my phone on airplane mode. Not out of touch though, I brought along my FT-70. Talked to an acquaintance over in Live Oak just to make sure it was working well enough, and it was.
So overall another good day in the woods! Shoes are in front of fan drying right now.
