Just my luck. My wife works in a CPA office and we can never get away before April 15th. The past few years it has been the last week of April before we could go and we have been a little late. This year we are going the 20th and looks like we will still be late.

Huskey Gap trail was beautiful Friday, Hepatica, Spring Beauty, Yellow and White Trilliums, Rue Anemone, Bloodroot, Dutchman's Breeches were all on that trail. Cosby has Bishop's Cap, Trout Lily, Wild Geranium, as well as all the above mentioned."
