Hilton Falls North, Monday March 6, 2017 - 8:15 am Hike

 Wonderful weather for hiking, just above 0C with a bit of sunshine.



 Liz did a great job of leading the troops .......
but if you want to know who the real leader is  ....

It's just a fungus.
 Hilton Falls, nice with lots of water
 Why is there ice around the hole in the tree?
Bill suggested it was condensation cause by the resident in the hole.
So I waited to see if the resident would show himself.
