IT ME



Toilet Rascal
One of my favorite parts about hiking and backpacking is identifying stuff.

Some of my favorites that I come across every spring here in Appalachia:

Trillium:



Mayapple (I eventually want to try and make a mayapple jam):



Sassafras:


Flocks:


Forget the name:


Another one that’s a cup shaped flower I can’t think of off the top of my head:



Rhododendron:



Lillies:



When I’m hiking and see Daffodils, that’s usually a good indication there used to be a homestead there. They don’t tend to spread and are hardy and come back year after year. Usually you can find some remnants of a foundation or slate roofing or a cellar. Lemme see if I can dig up some pictures!







During the Fall my absolute favorite is PawPaw, which puts out fist sized fruits that taste like a custardey cross between a banana and a mango. You find tons along creekbeds and they are just stupid delicious:



Have some more pics:
