Buford Mountain Conservation Area

Indian Paintbrush

Lady's Slipper Orchid (I think)

12 Turkey Eggs

My friend took her birthday celebration out to the Buford Mountain Conservation Area. We began the 10 mile loop in a pleasant drizzle. Not sure what happened, but we blazed our own trail and got done in half the time it normally takes. We were all confused when we ended up back at the trail-head.
It was an adventure, and i look forward to going again and doing the real trail. Once again, not sure what "trail" we hiked.
We also stopped off at St. Francois State Park and hiked the 3 mile Moonshiners Loop. The turkey nest was discovered by Michelle on a rock outcrop with 12 eggs in it. That is a lot of eggs.
Happy birthday Brandy!
