Hikes In Denim

[Fadez]

It’s almost been two years since I’ve done one of these. Kind of mind blowing to me. Life has had its ups and downs. I can see how that time has passed on my denim. Pretty wild. Hope you all are happy and healthy! Looking forward to posting more of these. I’m saving up for a really nice mirrorless camera to take even better pictures. Right now everything is being shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Enjoy your day!

Love this, I'll have to get out and do one next weekend!

[Fadez]

Right on @T4920 The Mad Red will enjoy it

@Fadez I am partly sure image #5 has old chicken of the woods mushrooms on it...if I am correct, check back to that tree next late summer for a harvest.

@Oaktavia you were the inspiration of those shots. I’d love to get into foraging. I will certainly pop back there. This is one of my favorite trails

Right on man I am stoked to hear that! Fungi are amazing lifeforms. I have been lucky enough to be able to forage oyster mushrooms on my property this season, it has been hella exciting. COTW is amazing though and is definitely native your area. It is bright orange when ripe for picking, usually around Labor Day.

I would LOVE to find wild oysters myself. They are my favorite. Next time you find some. Tell me all about it. I’d love to hunt those, COTW, and morels in my area. I’m only a few hours north of you. So should be able to find them

I found five small clusters yesterday, one of which was large enough to pick. I will check the other smaller clusters today after work. Half the time, slugs get to them first.

[Fadez]

I hear some beer around where slugs are will keep them away if it helps at all. Hope you get to harvest some!

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez I keep meaning to try the beer thing.

@Fadez A lot of nice outdoor pics. The vine on the little tree is Oriental Bittersweet is an invasive plant from Asia. It should be cut away. It smothers and chokes the native trees and shrubs.

[Fadez]

@twin I thought of you when I took the picture. It had already claimed that tree and other branches. Everything looked pretty dead when walking past. I should really invest in a knife or hatchet to put inside my pack for future use

Nice long hike at my favorite trail. Looks like some construction is happening around. I’m glad they’re improving the roads and trails!
