7/28/18 TACONIC HEREFORD

        This was a new walk for us and I chose the exit off the Taconic for the parking area.  There's also a parking area at Tyrell Road and we'll use that one next time.  I knew it  was probably a dirt road right off the Taconic [and it was] and that it wasn't far north of the Rossway Road Exit.  The sign for the park wasn't obvious and it came up suddenly. and we just barely made the turn in time.  A couple of the others had to go to the nearby exit and turn around.
        It was very humid and we got QUITE warm and the trails were a bit confusing but do-able and we decided we'll do it again but from the other parking area.  
        There were six of us and we all enjoyed lunch at the Daily Planet.

This is the exit and that's humidity in the air

 The map showed a termite mound and, although they don't show in this pic, the residents looked more like ants
 there were many fungi and I photographed many of them
Pretty ferns
An eft





We didn't know what these were and the next day FB showed a pic of ghost pipes.  They are symbiotic with fungi,



We encountered some mud
