This is my bit of a blog. Rambling words about rambling days. No focus and nothing ambitious. I seem to write most about local color, nature, and animals, and there is an incomplete chunk about my road trips of 2011.

Hanging Rocks Observatory

We hiked a tiny snippet of the Allegheny Trail today. Atop Peter's Mountain, a long Allegheny ridge line in southeastern West Virginia. Our destination was the "hanging rocks," a jagged tippy top of the ridge. Where there also is an old fire tower, now used as a raptor observatory. Particularly during the fall, when the parallel ridge lines of the Alleghenies form many raptors' migration flight path.
