Day Date at Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, Part 1. Most couples would probably equate a "date" to a nice dinner out and a Marvel adventure movie, but Blake and I, being hopeless nature fanatics and aspiring satyrs without hooves, equate it to mean "putzing around in the mountains". The timing was perfect: the haze from the Canadian wildfires, which has been choking most the US Mid-Atlantic and Northeast for the past week, had mostly moved on, replaced by a crisp blue sky with a light breeze.

From top: the view from the Rich Mountain Overlook on Old Route 33, heading toward Harman; Blake communing with the mystic creek chubs in Gandy Creek, one of the best brook trout streams in the Mid-Atlantic region; cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum), a mildly phototoxic beauty that Native Americans relied on for food and medicine; a forest composition of false green hellebore (Veratrum viride), ferns, wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), and golden Alexander (Zizia aurea); a close-up of golden Alexander, a lovely, spring-blooming member of the carrot family; the wetlands complex at Spruce Knob Lake; shining ladies' tresses (Spiranthes lucida), a spring to early summer-blooming bog orchid recognizable from its bright yellow labellum; bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), which can be easily mistaken for a spring-blooming forb but is actually a dwarf dogwood; and a feisty eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), whose saliva contains a mild neurotoxin that is deadly to its prey but harmless to humans.

Green Lacewing

While the Green Lacewing was perched on a blooming cloud of Golden Alexanders, I wondered why it should ever want to leave.

Gandy Creek and the Seneca Creek Backcountry together serve as the western gateways to the Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area in the Monongahela National Forest. This incredibly beautiful and wild area boasts one of the premier trail systems in the Mid-Atlantic region, with some 60 miles of trails winding through twenty-thousand acres of wilderness-quality red spruce and northern hardwood forests. Gandy and Seneca Creeks are also two of the most highly regarded brook trout streams in the eastern US. On Saturday, in a cool, clinging mist, I took a hike on one of the less traveled trails, the Leading Ridge Trail. The pulsating intensity of the new spring greens made them seem to glow in the dripping moisture.

From top: golden alexanders (Zizia aurea), the flagship spring wildflower of the mountains with its massed, golden flowerheads; Robin’s plantain (Erigeron pulchellus), a daisy-like spring aster with wide, lavender ray petals; brook lettuce (Micranthes micranthidifolia), whose edible leaves were once gathered in the spring by mountain folk for salads; and white baneberry (Actaea pachypoda), also known as doll’s eyes, because its white fruit in the fall resembles the china eyes once used in dolls.
