Return To Kanawha State Forest

Are we there yet?

This morning, we returned to Kanawha State Forest.  Originally, I'd hoped to explore the new Wallace Hartman Nature Preserve, but I couldn't see any really well-defined trails, and I decided to save that for another day, after I've had a chance to explore by myself, without having to worry about Brea, as well.

We started up the Overlook Rock Trail, but it was very muddy, and I didn't bring water along and wasn't wearing my hiking boots, so we turned back at the place where some trees came down a few weeks ago.  Everywhere we went, you could see fallen trees or the remains of fallen trees.

Don't leave without me!

Starting to like this place.

Brea was a lot more relaxed this time, more interested in sniffing around and exploring.  She had only one scary moment, again acting afraid of a trash can next to one of the picnic shelters.  I wish I knew what the deal was with those things.  At any rate, overall, we had a good time at the forest.
