If we had to pick one image to describe Congaree National Park over the weekend, it would be this one. The forest was filled with vibrant greens from emerging leaves, browns from the massive hardwoods, and abundant yellows from the butterweed, all reflecting in the park’s floodwaters. It was a peaceful weekend, and a good time of the year to visit. Right now the temperature is mild, there’s very light traffic in the backcountry, and minimal mosquitoes. We didn’t see as much wildlife as we expected, but did catch a glimpse of a wild bore. Johnny Jeans is still certain it was a bear (it wasn’t).
Trying to wrap up Friday at work, but your mind is already on the trail? Yeah, us too. We got a message recently asking for hiking club suggestions and/or asking if they could join ours. Well, we don’t have a hiking club. But, that got the wheels spinning. Why don’t we make one? 🤙 (working on setting this up). Heading down to @congareenps for the weekend with a couple of friends. Which in a way, you could say we’re officially starting the club this weekend. 😄
