First of all, a very, very Happy belated Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Oh how absolutely breathetaking. It looks amazing!

Did you find Severus or perhaps Remus in your little adventure?

Thank you so much for the kind wishes, and paint me all shades of envious of your wonderful trip! Caves and mushrooms are two things that were always somewhat magical to me when I was a kid, and they've retained a great deal of their mystique :D Too bad morels cost $60/lb out here in arid CA. :(
