We took a four hour stroll through the woods of Ross Coastal Plain Marsh. We walked about 3.7 miles. It was a wonderful, cool day, in the mid 60's.
This is the place I first found Autumn Coralroot, several years ago. It is a tiny orchid, occasionally you can catch a glimpse of its pretty pink spotted flower.
We also saw a few Nodding Ladies Tresses, another small orchid.
This mushroom was about 6 inches across, more blue than purple.
September 2, 2019 We took a day trip to hike a section of the NCT, new to us. The trailhead is on 76th Street southwest of Baldwin. We walked two hours south through Sterling Marsh, our walking distance was about 8 miles total.
After the walk we took the back roads home (about 78 miles). Great day for a hike.
