Laurel-Snow
I can't tell you the last time I've gone hiking lately. Been caught up in too much--well, no excuse for it. The Laurel-Snow wilderness area is near Dayton, TN and includes a beautiful hike next to a raging river, caves, and a couple waterfalls (one about 80ft, I think). They used to mine and log back there in the 1800s and early 1900s. You'll see rock walls put together so well, no mortar was needed. A mine shaft/cave is there on the trail, too. My good friend Dirk (who married Becca and I a few years ago) and I went hiking there a couple days ago.
We found a tree with its roots growing through the rock--there were none growing around it.
Don't know yet what kind of spider this is, anybody know?

Is that spider on the ground? Because it looks like an orb weaver of some sort. I don't see a web, though.
I'm just about caught up with the archives here... Have enjoyed it all.
FWIW, I'll link y'all up from my page in a hot sec.
Yes it was on the ground. Almost stepped on it, despite its bright orange color.
PS Don't read it ALL at once, I can't keep up!
