I never would have guessed that the purple flower on a stalk was a spike verbena. And I was surprised at the number and variety of mushrooms.
Very nice collection of images, Packrat - some very different from what you often feature.
Once, after backpacking in the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia, I sent a very irate letter to the supervisor of the Monongahela National Forest to complain that every single campsite near a popular trailhead had been fouled by cattle droppings. I got a nice letter in return with an indication that the rangers would talk to the leaseholder - the reply letter was more polite than my letter - but I doubt that it made any difference.
Well, at least you heard back, Scott. Sometimes these complaint letters are lost or ignored.
