My friend Fred and I hiked the Springer Mountain approach trail to the Appalachian Trail this last weekend … what a beautiful place .
We camped one night on top of the stack , then hike down again via a unlike path . Along the way I was instill by how different the plants were from those in Florida . There were very few I could nail down definitively . Some were familiar , like oaks , hickory tree and poison ivy … but others were foreign to me .
Those front like violets , but the leaves are very bad and glossy . Maybe it ’s a variety I have n’t encountered before . I also had n’t image ferns like these :
I do n’t recollect I ’ll ever hike up the entire trail , but this was a great trip . If you ever get a chance to go do the Springer Mountain plan of attack track , especially with a intimate hiker like my protagonist Fred … take it . You got ta get out of the garden every once in a while .
