The Huckleberry Trail. Yup. I took this picture by myself too, set the camera on something, set a timer, and then ran to my place. This was captured on the first try!
One of the first things we found was a teeny tiny frog. It looked like those little rocks, I'm not sure it if is actually in this picture. Turns out, these teeny tine frogs were EVERYWHERE!
Evan on the trail
Me on the trail! Notice all the growing stuff? This was the more clear part of the trail. The whole things was branches smacking us and bugs flying into us. Not pleasant for me, who does not like bugs so much.
He said this was poison ivy. Then proceeded to worry about how much he had passed and possibly rubbed up against. As of yet, neither of us has any signs of it, so I think we are in the clear.
There's a bench down there.
One of the few times we had a view of anything besides tree.
This was my favorite part. It was open and there was this little bridge running over the creek. The bridge was super tilty, but we didn't fall in.
These were everywhere. Or this one followed us the whole time.
Overall, we rate this hike with two thumbs down. Evan said it best when he said it was "untamed." Bugs are gonna be there no matter what, I will take that. But there was a lot of foliage growing over the trail, and not a lot to see. We spent so much time watching our footing we didn't really look around that much, but it was all trees and shrubs anyhow. Also, it is an incomplete loop as it drops you off on the road about a quarter mile from the trailhead. Oh well, we'll try another one some other day.
As a bonus, we saw this crazy big bug in a hole in the ground. We have yet to identify it... so if anyone is a bug expert let me know. We didn't get a picture because someone may have squealed when she saw a grasshopper on her husband's shirt.

grasshoppers are quite dangerous.
Sorry the trail wasn't the greatest, but I suppose you had to try it out right?
Maybe the next one will be better :)
