I decided to go up to
Moccasin Creek State Park having forgotten everything about it from last time. Got there and went, "Oh right, this place." It's the oddest park, being little more than an RV campground and fish hatchery on Lake Burton. Here's the thing, if you wanna go hiking at Moccasin Creek, you actually have to leave the park.
But Hemlock Falls is worth it.
The trail is across the highway on USFS land. The first 1/4 to 1/3 of the trail is... unfortunate. Garbage is everywhere. People camp where they like. And flies, at least when I went, were in abundance. Once you get past the yuck part, the trail becomes a real gem.
This snake was so still, I feared he was dead! But he was more afraid of me than I was of him.
Not sure on the type of snake here. I didn't hang around to find out and neither did he.
The CCC ruins are barely there. I can only guess where the buildings were placed in the clearings.
