Buffalo Mtn Park

This is a place we've talked about frequently when we would go to this town, that's only an hour from home. I don't know why we do this.

Anyhow we slept in this morning, I was actually off from work last night Yay! We drove to Johnson city, near Buffalo Mtn, and ate at an Idian restaurant for lunch, and then drove to the trail head in the park. Boy was that a mistake, we should've hit the trail early in the morning not after sucking down a big lunch. There are a lot of trails on this mountain, and there are some nice views of the town and the Unaka mountains that hide North Carolina from us. There were lots of the red mushrooms with white spots on them. I've heard those are the ones that make a person hallucinate. I made a short video of hiking on one of the trails. I'll try to attach it. View attachment 4893View attachment 4894View attachment 4895

 

You are lucky to live in that place near a town with that mountain trail. I wonder why you said the mistake about not eating much. I presume that you spent more time than intended and you got hungry on your way back. Didn't you prepare anything before going on the hike. At least that is a neat lesson that if you are not certain of the terrain then you have to be prepared with food and implements like rope and knife not to mention camera.
