Board Walk
In the low, wet areas, there are boardwalks like this to keep you elevated and dry. (Photo by Blaze)
Slug
It rained the day before, so the ground was still damp. Saw a lot of slugs like this one. (Photo by Blaze)
Pines Forever
This section of the LSHT has a lot of nice, tall pines. (Photo by Blaze)
Pond
This pond is a popular destination and a nice place to picnic or camp. (Photo by Blaze)
U.S.S. Mushroom
This mushroom was boldly going where nothing mushroom has gone before! (Photo by Blaze)
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 Blaze)
Interesting Fungi
I'm not sure what this is, but it's fractalized shape caught my eye. (Photo by Blaze)
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 Blaze)

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 Blaze)
