No 'shrooms, but...
First of all, a very, very Happy belated Birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mundungus42! I know your day was wonderful, may the coming year be at least as wonderful for you!
Yeah, so no 'shrooms because the poor sods need water to grow, and that's been one scarce commodity in recent weeks. But no doubt, that part of the world is 'shroom country, and all I have to do now is for the 'shroom fairy to whisper to me when to go.
Despite the distinct lack of mycological adventure this round, we had a wonderful time. The area (Norfolk and Bull Shoals Lakes) reminded me a bit of both the Black Forest and the Scottish Highlands. Not as mountainous as the Highlands maybe, but similar flora for sure. No sheep, but plenty of cows, just like in the Black Forest area.
Mountain Village; a village as it was typical for the late 1900s.
Amazing Caverns
We think these might be salamander eggs. Little Man found them, to the delight of our guide.
And now we're back home, waiting for rain. Cuz once it rains lots, we'll go back. Yup.

I guess I can live with the no-shrooms-for-now, considering the sirius lack of rain. But looking at the forecast, I may well drive a few miles next weekend; we'll see.
Got the email and the answer is a resounding yes. Am not gonna reply in detail now cuz I'm just done watching "Copying Beethoven". *le_gasp* Am now listening to the Cleveland playing the ninth conducted by George Szell, it's positively heavenly. Anna Holz helping Beethoven conduct it in the movie shall stay fondly in my mind forever and ever. :-)
