Most of the older remaining eastern hemlock in RRG are roughly 45 dbh -40 dbh, the two largest individuals i’ve seen are in muir valley labelled as the local Methuselah(mangled old behemoth) tree around 60 dbh, and one ive found 55 dbh in devils canyon. This and many other moderate examples can be seen throughout rough trail. Sadly, hwa and hes are major threats that are very real and don’t seem to have a real proactive method of management associated with them just yet.

Silene rotundifolia,
Growing nearly upside down as a sandstone chasmophyte( this is it’s in-situ niche), in a dry rockshelter vs a backcove(humidity ducting terminal), in more exposure to sunlight than many other Ilp endemics. We have hummingbird and butterfly pollinated round leaf catch fly.
As an ILP sandstone endemic species that has barely breached the Allegheny Plateau due to it’s overlap into the ILP it seems to be the most wide spread overall; as geological borders while physical have mixing zones that are never fully abrupt. In ecological systems many factors besides geology and evolutionary time come into play with ranges though these seem to be the main contributors. Gale( or is it Gail) from natives in harmony llc, actually managed to grow these ex-situ in limestone gravel that was unwashed, which shut down my theory about chemistry as a leading factor in it’s range.
We can see that valley of the gods in Illinois had no history of this, The other site that surprised me is a lack of the continued line in Adams, Scioto, Lawrence counties of Ohio. Lewis County Kentucky has none either. Or perhaps the strangest spot missing would be Cuyahoga National Park in Ohio while we have records from a northern county adjacent( most northern pop).

The natural Bridge is located within the Red River Gorge which is located in eastern Kentucky. It is a gorgeous place and a nature lovers dream. Plenty of places to hike, kayak, rock climb, fish, camp, and more!
Included in these pictures is Nada tunnel. This tunnel has existed since the early 1900s. Steam locomotives used to haul timber though the tunnel. Only one car can enter the 900ft tunnel at a time. It is amazing and I highly recommend checking it out.
Cave Run lake is also featured in these photos. The lake is in the Daniel Boone national forest which is a wonderful camping location.
Have you ever been to these places?
