Mason-Dixon Trail

Last Friday evening gave perfect hiking weather, so we ventured through the Mason-Dixon Walking Trail at Long Level.

Can you sense their adventurous spirit?


The fragrance was so sweet that even these armed woodland warriors (click/enlarge to see weapons!) had to stop and sniff.


A close-up of what they were enjoying... fragrant and beautiful Mertensia ("Virginia Cowslip") wildflowers, which are actually pink when in bud.


Interesting camou pattern on a fallen branch.


We couldn't read all that was inscribed on these, but we could make out dates of 1803, 1827, and 1851. We'd all love to know the history behind them!
