Beaver Dam - Rivers - Amanita Muscari Mushroom - Trailer Hitch Cover - 20 Cast Iron Skillet Recipes

July 4

There was talk of going over to a neighbor's house for a gathering with the couple who's property we are staying on. But I have since learned that Chrissie doesn't leave the house, she has to many phobias, and when her husband Jesse goes into town you never know when he is coming back so Kaiya and I headed out to Bear Hill, which is 3 miles away. It just got done raining, again, with the threat of more to come.

This is Millstone Road and it is 2 miles long, mostly uphill, both ways. It travels along West Branch of the Susquehanna River. The Mayhew's own a few acres on the left side and I often break up the beaver dam's for Jesse.

Beaver's are at it again!

Long ago the beavers dammed up a creek and they formed themselves this pond that is approximately 3/4 of a mile long, 35 feet wide and 4 feet deep.

I forever enjoy walking by this small waterfall. It is hidden within the hill and the sound is so peaceful 

Mill River, a bit murky and swollen from the daily rain. The top photo shows it emptying into the Susquehanna River.

We are at the top of Bear Hill and looking over Clearfield, Pennsylvania with Route 80 to the left.

The light green strip in the middle is where we walked only days before. 

This power line is super noisy and the birds couldn't touch it.

Look at the mean sky. But we continued to hike on.

And we found cows with a calf suckling on it's Momma. Do you see the calf? 

Hint: Look at the cow on the right.

I presume this is some kind of Amanita Muscaria. Do you know for sure? It is has gills and stands about 3 inches tall.

 I have no idea what this mushroom is. I love the petal effect it has. The bottom has gills and stands almost 3 inches tall. Do you know what it is?

I know a lot of people are busy outdoors or camping at this time of year so I thought this would be a fitting way to end today's blog.

Until Next Time. We hoped you enjoyed our 12 mile adventure. We went from paved and dirt roads, to meadows and onto forest that look great to set up camp.

I did end the day with Jesse Mayhew at the neighbor's house (Tammy and Ron, thanks guys for the invite!) without Kaiya and had a wonderful time. There was a ton of food and great company. And it was ended with a bang with a ton of fireworks in the backyard that would put some towns to shame. It did rain heavy as soon as we got there but it stopped after we all finished eating under the canopies.

We hope you had a great 4th also, if you celebrate it.
