peabody creek trail 10/9/2021 11am?
« on: October 02, 2021, 07:33:50 PM »

After this head into town for the https://www.crabfestival.org/ festival for some yummy dinners (Sorry Iuri I'm sure they will have a non-seafood dish for you)
The weather looks good enough for flip flops and shorts  + Laura & I now have ponchos. 

Friday night Laura and I will be staying in a caboose at https://redcaboosegetaway.com/
So we don't have to get up so early. If I can get Toby (JACk. in discord) to wake up, I'll make him come along.

Finally stopped at the RadioShack, I wasn't impressed.
 



Toby keeps ignoring us, I really should find out where the shop is.

We got to the trail around 12:30, Since no one  said they were coming we took our time in town.

This sign confused us, but I trusted alltrails 



 



This tree was a little lower than I wanted it to be
 



I was hoping to use Laura as a scale for how big this old growth stump was but it still does it no Justice 
 



The first sign was confusing us then we found
 



This new life was cool
 

 



Water out
 



Water in
 



The bridge Laura was on gave me vertigo crossing it   ???

I tried to get Laura to do some silly poses like Fai but declined
 



The trail appears to be cared for
 

 

 



I had Laura hold this log So I could pass safely
 



Weird growth on the trees
 



Here is the end  :'(
 



 

On the way back we spotted a few things we somehow missed along the way

Like nature's coat rack
 



and the huge patch of mushrooms
 



It started to rain on the way back and we found out the Rangers lock the bathrooms when they leave. So we couldn't change.

I didn't get much of the whole reason for coming out here
CrabFest ....

The line moved along pretty fast
 



Laura found us some good chowder to go with the crab 



Not as many vender's as I thought showed up and didn't see a booth for Toby.

So many interesting fungus on the Peabody Creek trail.
 

 
 


 


 


 


 



Here's the end of the trail.  Not even a place to pull over and park if you wanted to start at this end.

Cool pics! Some really old trees in there, that stump was massive! You need a van, so you can change inside ;)

Only if it can tow the Bronco on a trailer.  might just need a 24' RV
