Board Walk
In the low, wet areas, there are boardwalks like this to keep you elevated and dry. (Photo by Lone_Star)
Slug
It rained the day before, so the ground was still damp. Saw a lot of slugs like this one. (Photo by Lone_Star)
Pines Forever
This section of the LSHT has a lot of nice, tall pines. (Photo by Lone_Star)
Pond
This pond is a popular destination and a nice place to picnic or camp. (Photo by Lone_Star)
U.S.S. Mushroom
This mushroom was boldly going where nothing mushroom has gone before! (Photo by Lone_Star)
Snake
My friend almost stepped on this baby snake without even noticing. It was a cool day so the snake wasn't moving around. It was just trying to warm up on the trail. (Photo by Lone_Star)
Interesting Fungi
I'm not sure what this is, but it's fractalized shape caught my eye. (Photo by Lone_Star)
Good Signage
This section of the LSHT is well-marked. It is hard to get lost, but it is still always a good idea to take a printed trail map since there are Forest Service Roads and unofficial trails running through the area. (Photo by Lone_Star)

Camouflage
Can you see the butterfly in this photo? Hint: It's dead center, on the leaf, above the pine cone. Amazing how well it blends into the scenery. (Photo by Lone_Star)
