Part two of Arabia Mountain! AM is home to an endangered species of succulent called Diamorpha Smallii, also known as Elf Orpine. It’s bright red and blooms in the spring time before it totally dies off to survive the summer heat. Much of the plant was already pretty dry and crunch, but I was delighted to see some patches still in bloom.
Went to Arabia Mountain a few weeks ago. An easy hike until you get to the mountain itself, but aside from being steep, it’s still easy going. Lovely spot, just a bit ruined by the steady traffic going by.
Went to see if I could spot some Sandhill Cranes today at a local wildlife sanctuary and got lucky! Especially because they took off about 5 minutes after I got there.
Went to James H. “Sloppy” Floyed State Park the weekend after Warwoman Dell. Lovely spot with a lake, picnic area, and a cool old marble mine! There were lots of hunks of marble all along the trail, and you could see it naturally occurring in the ground in areas where the dirt had washed away. Very nice, kinda chill place!
It’s been 84 years since I posted here, but I’d like to get back to using this blog! I have a lot of pics from past hikes that will take some time to get posted, but for now I’m going to post some content from recent hikes.
Unfortunately, I moved recently and Stan was packed up, so these photos will be mostly Stanless, but I hope you’ll enjoy them! The old ones will have some quality Stan content for you to enjoy. 🎱
This photoset comes from Warwoman Dell, in Rabun Co., GA.
