A Terrific Walk to the Clove @ High Mountain
The Jim Longo Memorial Walk to Franklin Clove in the High Mountain Park Preserve this morning was a real trip — featuring amazing rocks, genial participants, a rock shelter or two, a Phoebe nest or two, a Pileated feather and a waterless Buttermilk Falls.
Joining us in remembering Jim were his wife Rosalie and Lauren, one of his daughters. It was a perfect fall morning.
That's one of the ancient rock shelters behind us. After lengthy deliberations, we decided not to spend the night.
Jim Longo's Franklin Clove video, filmed by Lauren Longo, is below. Will post more on that Pileated feather and the Phoebe nest later.
(A thank you to Ravi Potluri for the photos above.)

Looks like a contented group…must have been a great hike. I so enjoyed watching that video and will probably do so again since it has so much information packed in it. Sorry I could not make your talk last night since I was looking forward to it. I will have to check the schedule for the next one.
