vignettes

[from trip journal]

On the Manistee side, the soil has changed from sandy to clay, and the woods aren't so clean. More underbrush here and the air feels damp.
Things I've seen:
  • purple mushrooms
  • lichen shelves
  • huge spider in a bag
  • river in my tent
  • corned beef hash, in a CAN
  • river foam
  • purple carpet of bugs
  • wild mint, sassafras
  • morning fog over river valley
  • dewy spider webs, backlit by sunrise
  • smiling, dirty faces
Some gorgeous pictures by our resident photographer, Mr. Bradley Austin:
