AT picture trip report, Springer to Coop er Gap

“Great pics. I always enjoy your slides. I'm looking forward to this section of trail soon.”

“You just liked them because they were about COOPer Gap. ;)”

“I bet they're great as usual. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to check them out. Work has a fast connection, I don't, lol...”

“The plant you asked about is black cohosh, or as I remember it Cimicifuga racemosa (L.) Nutt., but some taxonomy work has returned it to the genus Actaea L. and the current accepted (?) nomenclature is Actaea racemosa L. - for details see Taxon 1998, 47, 593-634.”

“Great pics SS!”

“Yep, black cohosh flowers.”

“I'm like Nimblewill Nomad. I named myself after one of my favorite places on the AT. Err - then again...”

“Here ya go shep098.”

“Yeah that's what it is alright. I just found my wildflower field guide (stuffed under the couch). missed any pics of you stove and of course myself. maybe next time.”

“Stove those are great pics. I loved the falls pics and the morning sky pics are awesome!”

“So, is this the beginning of something grand? Great pictures !!”

“Great pics...now I really wish I could have made the trip!”

“The sunset photos are awsome........I've never hiked in GA, but plan on doing so after your TR and pics. Thanks SS!

SS Jr.”

“Thanks folks.
I like the morning on Springer pixs myself. Wish I was still on the trail.

MaryPhyl - I'll only done about 100 miles on the AT, but I would like to finish of the GA section. 2scoops and I have that same goal.
After I retire in about ten years, I hope I'm still able to thruhike. A thruhike has been a dream for many years, but things like marriage, divorce, mortgage, work, keep getting in the way.”

“SS--
these were from your trip this weekend?? dang. i missed out big time.”

“yam - You snooze, you lose! ;)”
