Wild Trails

The hu-dad may finally have mowed our field, but all of the rain and sun have really caused an explosion of vegetation on our trails.

This trail might be clear, but the growth on either side of the trail is fairly thick. A challenge walking side by side by side.

Kiska! We think you missed the trail. Don't get lost.

    I guess it’s sort of like breaking snow … only with plants! Cool!

    Well, if there’s not enough room, clearly Kiska is going to make her own trail.

    That’s OK, so now you get to hike in the jungle. Just watch out for the ticks and stuff.

    Happy weekend.

    Going into the rough is most fun!! Mom loves how you keep your hu-dad on leash like that!

    I hope you don’t have ticks in your area. I know some people have them, but we are lucky not to. Your trails look like real fun to me πŸ™‚

    Stay cool!!!

    What nice photos! Do you worry about snakes?

      Great question! Not a lot of poisonous snakes here (though that trail was the Rattlesnake Lodge Trail), but we commonly see non-poisonous snakes.

    Well, Herd, I think that you need to demand that your hu-dad pre-grooms next to the trails that you’re planning to hike!

    I love seeing all that green, so lush and beautiful. I couldn’t help but worry about ticks though, because K is so dangerously allergic to them. I’m glad that none of you are allergic to them!

    • D.K. Wall on June 18, 2010 at 9:53 am

      KB –

      Ticks, fortunately, are virtually unheard of on the higher elevation trails here. You drop down into the Piedmont and Coastal area and they are everywhere (and lots of Lyme Disease in Virginia), but we are blessed to live in a zone without them.

    Wooos! Just walk through it all like I do, no need to follow the train exactly , I know where to go!

    Do you ever hike with a machete to chop your way through all that vegetation? That sure is a lot of pretty pantyloons on the black and white team! Qannik is so shiny white! Wowzers!

    What a lovely trail you all had again! It looks a bit complicated there so please don’t get lost!
