The photos above are from a trek to the summit of Bald Knob in Tucker County, West Virginia earlier today. Bald Knob Trail starts in Canaan Valley State Park and crosses into the Monongahela National Forest before returning to the state park. Many people avoid the steep ascent on foot and take a chair lift from the adjacent ski area instead. I manned up today and made the ascent by foot so I could beat the lazy tourists to the overlook.

From top: the view from Bald Knob toward Weiss Knob and the Canaan Valley State Park ski area; wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), a clumping woodland perennial with gorgeous violet-purple foliage and elegant, sharply-lobed foliage; minniebush (Menziesia pilosa), an Appalachian endemic with distinctive, white-tipped leaves; painted trillium (Trillium undulatum), which has a fondness for shady spots in the strongly-acidic soils of old forests; pink lady’s slipper (Cypripedium acaule), another lover of shady nooks and strongly-acidic soils; and the mysterious depths of the boreal forest at the summit, where Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense) and yellow Clintonia (Clintonia borealis), also known as bluebead lily, form dense colonies in the rich humus.

Numbers 13: God Commands Moses To Send Men To Explore The Land Of Canaan

1 The Lord said to Moses,

2 “Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.”

3 So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.

4 These are their names:

from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;

5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;

6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;

8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;

9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;

10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;

11 from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;

12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;

13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;

14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;

15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.

16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.)

17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, “Go up through the Negev and on into the hill country.

18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.

19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified?

20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)

21 So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo Hamath.

22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs.

24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there.

25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.

Report on the Exploration

26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.

27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit.

28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”

30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”

32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.

33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

Something about Valley of Fear using Parting Friends as a song in their show and my dad dying the month before I go and see it and then Luke remembering my dad from four years prior and bringing him up in conversation without knowing he was dead or without me having to say anything about him first has gotten me low-key fucked up.

#yes I know it’s a coincidence #yes I sat there at the Friday evening show and listened to Luke sing ‘I go away behind to leave you perhaps never to meet again #but if we never get the pleasure I hope we meet on Canaan’s land’#and I thought about my dad #and I thought about the fact that FOUR years later Luke remembered my dad #a man that he had only met once and only quite briefly #I don’t know if that says more about my dad or about Luke but it says something #anyway god bless Luke Barton that man has the patience of a saint and a heart of gold and he deserves the world #even if he did yell at me to smack the wasp that wouldn’t leave him alone #vince liveblogs life #Blackeyed theatre #Sherlock Holmes the valley of fear #sherlock holmes

Catching up on tides of history and incredibly funny to me how the episodes on the Indus Valley civilization start with a 'I'm not here to attack anyone's beliefs, everyone is #valid, I'm just relaying the current consensus of the field' disclaimer nearly as long as the set on bronze age israel and canaan.

Fun way to find out who the craziest people on Twitter are from a safe remove.

Heyyyyyy I’m a lil drunk but I absolutely ADORE your Canaan Valley fic, I think it absolutely rules. Idk if you’re planning on continuing it but I hope you are because it brings me so much joy, but obviously there’s no pressure because I’m just a random internet person and you should do what makes YOU HAPPY and not what anybody else thinks

Ahhhh thank you so much!!! I fully plan to continue it eventually, I’ve just been focusing on one of my other fics so much lately. I go where the hyperfixation takes me lol. Eventually I’ll get tugged back to it, it’s just a matter of when!

Late afternoon at the balsam fir swamp in Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

From top: nodding bur-marigold (Bidens cernua), also sometimes referred to as nodding beggarticks, a clumping, wetlands-loving annual whose flowerheads nod as they mature and get heavier; bushy St. John's wort (Hypericum densiflorum), a gorgeous, densely-packed shrub with vibrant yellow flowers and copper-colored bark; white meadowsweet (Spiraea alba), a rapidly-colonizing shrub whose branching clusters of white flowers are one of summer's most generous gifts; narrow-leaved gentian (Gentiana linearis), a tall, elegant bottle gentian that can only be pollinated by bumblebees strong enough to pry open (or chew through) its closed petals; flat-topped white aster (Doellingeria umbellata), also known as parasol whitetop, a tall, attractive mountain aster with flat, branching clusters of white flowers; and the dainty white flowers of virgin's bower (Clematis virginiana), a vigorous, twining vine that forms beautiful, dense waves of foliage and flowers.

tlt holiday exchange fics!

by me casey aberfaeth (cee some other places, hi) :) this exchange was such a joy to be a part of!!! i really love all the fics i wrote for it, and the collection has some incredible works you should check out!

everything has breath inside

[Harrow/Gideon, Harrow&literally every other character ever, stardew valley au, 20k]

Dearest Harrowhark, If you’re reading this, I believe you are ready for a change.

(or: Harrowhark Nonagesimus moves to Canaan Valley to start afresh. Trouble is, it seems her teenage nemesis had a similar idea.)

whew did this one get away from me!! it was so much fun to write though and im looking forward to writing more of it because of course i didn’t get in all of the jokes i wanted to lol.

read everything has breath inside here!

i don’t need a parachute (if i’ve got you)

[Cam&Pal, leverage/criminals au, 6k]

The night air is cool, charged with pre-storm static. A cloudless black sky blankets the city, peppered with faint stars like bullet holes in drywall. Camilla Hect crouches in the shadows of the elevator equipment room atop the Canaan Museum of Art and Antiquities, shivering slightly in her thin elastic clothes, and snaps the final leg of her tripod grappling hook gun into place.

(or: Cam and Pal commit crimes.)

this was a treat for @junozeta which i actually wrote like. before assignments even went out, that’s how instantly enamored with the concept i was. leverage references, semi-witty repartee, and work friends to real friends abound within! this is also a universe i desperately want to return to because there is just. SO MUCH IT’S SO FUN FOR ME.

read i don’t need a parachute (if i’ve got you) here!

my girl’s a switchblade

[Cam/Pal, Team 69, d&d au, 5.7k]

“Warden,” Camilla calls, shifting her stance. “The double tap?”

(or: Five times Camilla rescues Palamedes, and one time he saves her back.)

this prompt was like the perfect mixture of my two favorite things in the entire universe!!!! this fic is wildly self indulgent nonsense, ten tropes in a trenchcoat plus memes, and was such a delight to write.

read my girl’s a switchblade here!

endless thanks to all the lovely folks who have commented such awesome stuff on these already, and to the rest of you, i hope you enjoy!! <3

#the locked tomb #tlt holiday exchange #griddlehark #campal #c.docx #also this is a scheduled post i am super asleep rn but feel free 2 message me about any of thse lol
