21 February 2016 Lonely Caches in Clarion

I always enjoy a visit to Clarion County. Today we headed for a walk in State Games Lands 330. The area had some very lonely caches. It was also quite scenic today for a mid-winter walk.

It didn't take long to find our first lonely cache. This one was about a month and a half from two years since its last find. Our travels would bring two more lonely caches which were unfound in over a year.

Lizzie was licking her lips at the thought of searching for another lonely cache (or maybe she was hoping for a treat).

After we made a cache find I went to the muddy edge of this pond hoping to spot skunk cabbage. Today was not a skunk cabbage day.

Until we did the AGT many years back, I had no idea of how many old coal mining areas there were in Clarion County. There were many small chunks of coal on the trails giving evidence of the areas past use.

We were back in the sport ute and heading home when we spotted this group of turkeys. There were more than the eight visible in this picture.
