outside. wierd sounding. Rose is getting fat on eating them by the tens and
tens and tens. Bad gas from them too.....apparently they're fat and protein
and really good for food. I can't find my receipe for
them...............(Rose can continue eating them, she needs the protein,

Can't recall 1953's invasion and 1987 was fairly mild, but 1970 was
terrible.


I have not heard any unusual sounds here. Went hiking from the
Devil's Breakfast Table to the O-My-God Overlook along Daddy's Creek
and the Obed River (along the north side of Hatfield Mountain) last
Wednesday--no unusual sounds, but the ticks were plentiful and
annoying. Saw a variety of mountain ferns, blueberry, spotted
salamanders, wild turkey, lots of spiders in the caves, large
millipedes, one copperhead, toads, and surprisingly, no mosquitoes
yet.
