Lake Keokee Loop

We hiked the Lake Keokee Loop today in some beautiful sunshine.  This 3.7 mile loop was one of the first hikes our club completed when we organized in 2013.  The first time, it was early June, and the ferns were waist high.  This time, in early May, the ferns were just beginning to unfurl, but the spring wildflowers were plentiful.  Painted trillium, which can be pretty difficult to find, were spectacular.  We also spotted a lady slipper, another hard to find wildflower.  We had a great day and were grateful for the volunteers who had recently cleared the trail of blow downs.
