The weather was great for the water table and plants which means it was raining most of the morning before I started this short excursion. As it has been more frequently so far this year. This month Townsend is half inch over the average precipitation for May and the area is an inch over for the year. So folks we are not getting all that much rain, we just ain't been exposed to it in the last Several years.
The walk is one we're familiar with West Prong to #18, and returning partially along an un-named loop. This posting is mostly to show the beautiful Mountain laurels, add a new entry and to note again not all the hikes we do are posted.
The rain stayed away mostly as I walked this 4+ ml. route. At about a mile into it a Whitetail deer and I exchanged glances and greetings and decided one of us would have to leave the trail w/ steep choices either way. Luckily, as it approached within about 25' it chose to hop off the trail down the mountain and into some brush. I saw no one as I reached site #18, sat on a rock and enjoyed the noise of the full stream there. Peace.
