Terry's Favorites

By September 12, I'll have been at Camp Ravencliff for 12 days. I will have explored the area with many of the leaders and accompanied Kim on her workshops.  Today,  I will return to my favorite spots to say goodbye to the Eel River and the Redwoods. You're welcome to accompany me. 

We'll discuss what we see and maybe even find more activity. I would classify this as a leisurely stroll through the woods and along the river to some areas that I have memories of over the past twelve days. Good memories - for me - are usually associated with pretty darn good tracking conditions.

Donation:  $30 to TCNA
