| no partners | | Drove back to the Angle Orchard for apples. Gala and El Star Apples are done, as are all of the peaches. People are already picking the Arkansas Black apples, and I got a few as well even if it is early. They are supposed to be ripe in October, but seemed okay. I found the 3 Winesap trees and while 2 were no where near ripe, one had a few ripe ones on it, unless it was a Johnathan. Either way, I believe I picked about 24 pounds of Winesap and Johnathan Apples.
Most of what the orchard is growing are Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Arkansas Black, and then also scattered Fuji which will come in during early October. I'm hoping to get a fair number of Fuji, also
Anyway, after the apple picking and orchard touring, and an hour drive up to the top, I had plenty of time for Heliograph but not enough for High Peak, so I hike the loop. It was pleasantly cool and very humid or moist. I didn't hear many birds this time. No chick-a-dees and hermit thrushes. Is it fall? Maybe it was coincidence.
A small crew is doing some much needed work on the Arcadia Trail. They have removed the thicket to where the Noon Creek Ridge Trail used to join the Arcadia Trail. FYI: I was told the Noon Creek Ridge Trail is basically gone. I was told they intend to rebuild the washed out section of the Arcadia. Also, I was told they intend to tackle the overgrown Grant Creek Loop(s). I'm most excited about the Arcadia. |
