PM:
3 mile hike at Donaldson run up to Potomac Overlook park.
Today was a full day. It is amazing since it rain for a few hours, but we still got in our good time. We had an amazing, somewhat scary and potentially dangerous event occur on our hike. As we were walking on the trail through the trees I thought I heard an animal. Not a little squirrel or deer. Something bigger making some crunching noises. We paused and scanned the woods. Then we both heard it. and before we knew it there was a loud crack of wood and a tree fell in the woods. It fell in our general direction but was far enough away that we did not get hit with it. It was something to experience. the tree that fell smashed into a tree that was already down and shattered into many pieces. This was amazing!
Earlier in the hike I spotted the star of the wildlife, a baby copperhead snake. The young ones are more deadly when it comes to young snakes, they don’t know how to regulate their venom and dump it all in the bite.
There were also some cool mushrooms and fungi out.
A great day shared with my amazing wife!
