Penny and I met Jeffery Greco at the main office of Hickory Run State Park. The goal today was really just to get out find wildlife and see some nice scenery. As always there was trash and of course it was taken out. Four small piles for four short hikes at different sites around the park.
A small waterfall on the Shades of Death Trail.
This is how the trash was today. One or a few pieces discarded randomly on trailsides.
This is the only item pulled out of the water today.
This was Mr. Greco's first trip to the Boulder Field and the first time Penny and I were back since I went to photographed the aftermath of the last major spray painting incident. The individuals that tagged the rocks were caught, but no one has removed the paint.
The field looked nice with the fall colors behind it. I was happy not to find any trash at this location. Generally there is at least a bottle or two wedged between the rocks.
Found some old cans down by the Lehigh. Not much else.
It was another area though that was bright with Fall colors.
Did see one Garter Snake. This will probably be the last snake of the year. It is getting a bit chilly for them to be out and about.
This was a nifty Scarab Beetle. You never know what you are going to find on aging fungus.
A good view of the Upper Lehigh.
I think the colors have just about peaked for this hillside.
For a weekday the trails here were packed with people. There was also a good amount of trash. Some because of its location, I couldn't get with Penny along and I am going to have to go back.
Penny as close as she wanted to get to the falls.
