Bridges on the Appalachian Trail. This one just north of where we walked under I-66, near Linden, VA. The lack of bridge photos over the last tells you something about the terrain and water sources in the Shenandoah National Park. #appalachiantrail #bridges #Virginia #at2015

Two weeks hiking in Shenandoah National Park (one just now, and one 11 months ago) and these are the only bears I saw. In a gift shop. A little disappointing. #appalachiantrail #Virginia #SNP #at2015

YES! The answer is yes. (sign at Thornton Gap where there used to be another restaurant, gone now 12 years or so.) #appalachiantrail #SNP #at2015

Flower of the day: Fly Poison (Amianthium muscaetoxicum) grows a foot or two tall on a thin stalk that rises up from a set of long daylily-like leaves. #appalachiantrail #Virginia #flowers #SNP #at2015

Insects of the Appalachian Trail. No idea what this colorful little one is, just that it sat and posed for me in the middle of the trail. #appalachiantrail #Virginia #insects #SNP #at2015

Fungi of the Appalachian Trail. These little mushrooms (maybe 1.5 inches tall) were growing right alobg the Trail, south of Waynesboro and Rockfish Gap. This is only a small section of the whole. #appalachiantrail #Virginia #mushrooms #fungus #at2015
