The Shakerag Hollow hike scheduled for Tuesday was rescheduled on the following Thursday. There were a few of us wildflower loving hikers who decided we could not miss the wildflowers at Shakerag Hollow, and it would be a whole year before we would have another opportunity. Ten of us enjoyed the beautiful weather, a little cool, but great for hiking. The trail was in good shape except for a few wet muddy areas from the previous day’s rain. The hike was at a slow pace with many stops to take pictures and identify the variety of wildflowers in bloom. The Phacelia were not covering the mountain side as they were last year, not disappointing as there were many others, Dutchmen Britches, Trilliums, Celadine Poppies, Larkspurs, and Wild Geraniums just to name a few. After the hike, we headed to the Mountain Goat Market for lunch. I think everyone would agree it was a great day.
