Ann-Marie, Viv and I hiked this part of the Palmetto Trail that was farther down Leesburg than last week. We did the hike in about 2 hours and 10 minutes or so and kept a good pace throughout. This trail wasn't as much bike traveled as the one last week and so they were a few spiders, mainly Spiny Orb Weavers that were giving Ann-Marie fits. That's why Viv is holding the magical trail blazing stick of power to knocks webs out the way. At the turn around point we saw a huge Golden Silk Spider that was quite beautiful. Don't know why I didn't get his picture. I think Ann-Marie had seen him one too many times already! It was more humid this week and a little tougher going but both girls were hiking at a brisk pace that was only interrupted by the spiders and the fact we kept losing the less-than-well-marked trail and had to backtrack a few times. On the wildflower side we saw a few of the St. Andrews Cross that were more plentiful last week and little else. Thinking about hitting Table Rock when the weather cools.
