We climbed to the summit of Mount Yonah then enjoyed a nearly 200 foot rappel on the rock face. We watched some thunderstorms approach. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonah_Mountain www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/conf/recreation/hiking/recarea/?r...
The white-tailed deer is the most common of all of North America’s large mammals. It is also the most widely distributed. A deer's home range is usually less the a square mile. Deer collect in family groups of a mother and her fawns. When a doe has no fawns, she is usually solitary. Male bucks may live in groups consisting of three or four individuals, except in mating season, when they are solitary. White-tailed deer mate in November and the female has one to three fawns after about six months after mating.

White irisette, Sisyrinchium dichotomum, is an endangered plant found in western North Carolina and the upstate of South Carolina. It’s a perennial herb that generally grows from 10 to 16 inches tall and has winged stems. There may be 10 or more stems on one plant. White irisette flowers from late May through July. The seeds are very small and black; and three to six seeds are contained in each capsule.
It’s is found on mid elevation slopes, characterized by open, dry to moderate-moisture oak hickory forests. White irisette usually grows in shallow soils on regularly disturbed sites (such as woodland edges and roadsides) and over rocky, steep terrain.

Woodsy Owl greets us at the highest restroom we've ever visited—give a hoot!
Rock spike-moss is not a moss but a fern ally. It reproduces by spores. The plant lives on exposed non-calcareous rock outcrops from the Arctic to the temperate regions of the southern U.S. For more information: plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SERU

her Name is Shiro,
she's The spirit of the forest
White Fox with nine tails
You do not hear her voice
Only whisper
When you look to her eyes
You freeze of her beauty and mystery
And she has the capability to control the whole of the forest.
New Year's Day 2021 - a sharp hoar frost and foggy all day. Although I love the frost (and even better when it snows) I hope it does not portend greyness for the rest of the year.
Mount Yonah is a favorite rock climbing destination. The mountain is a disjunct segment of the Chattahoochee National Forest with developement encroching from all sides. Several years ago the access road was closed and the mountain was cut-off. I have attached a link to story of the new access: www.seclimbers.org/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpa...

The Senior Community Service Employment Program was authorized by the United States Congress in Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965. The program was designed to provide useful part-time employment, work experience and training to senior citizens, aged 55 years and older, to help them transition to unsubsidized employment in the public or private sector. For a time, the USDA Forest Service was the only federal agency among the 10 national sponsors of the program. The program was very successful on the Monongahela National Forest, for both participants and forest resources. Participants wore volunteer vest in district offices or a Senior Community Service Employment Program cap out while working in the woods or at forest recreation areas.

This series documents a day’s tramping on the circuit that takes in the Putangirua Pinnacles, the river valley leading to them, the forest topping the hills either side of the valley, which were thick with kanuka blossom, and views out to sea and Lake Onoke in the south and out to Cape Palliser in the north.
The pinnacles in this series were one of the many sites around New Zealand for the filming of "The Return of the King" in the Lord of the Rings movies.
The "badlands erosion" of Putangirua Pinnacles is a spectacular landscape feature. When the Aorangi Range was an island, 7 to 9 million years ago, screes poured gravels onto the coast, much as they do today around Cape Palliser.
The Putangirua Stream has exposed this ancient layer of gravels to the erosive forces of rain and floods. Where cemented silts or rocks within the gravel beds prove more resistant than the underlying sediments, spectacular individual pinnacles or "hoodoos" are formed.
The Putangirua Pinnacles are one of the best examples in New Zealand of badlands erosion and earth pillar formation.
The eerie scenes in The Return of the King as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli ride along the Dimholt Road to meet the Army of the Dead were filmed against the surreal backdrop of the Pinnacles.
