On my last trip to the Wildlife Refuge, I took Rd 8, Normally that gate is locked but now it's open so I decided to check it out, Glad I did it has some high points literally.
The best I can tell I think Im on Mary's Hill!! I never got to take Mom up on her hill that area has been closed for years, but then I realize it's open certain times of the year...and I rarely took her out in winter months she did not do well breathing in cold air. But this is the view from there...
It's not too often I get an elevated view around here...the elevation at my home is 282 ft..that distant couple peaks is Sugar Loaf Mountain Recreation Area. I will have to go there and show you guys around, haven't been there in a while.
The road took me to Pool K...
Visitors Drive
had the entire place to myself..I did not see another person for the 4 hours I was there.
Exactly what the Dr ordered...had my lunch time stop at the Twin Lakes area that I discovered on my last exploration attempt.
It's always wonderful to see the Red Cockaded Woodpecker this close to my home
it's 15 miles as the crow flies...

At Martin's Lake I spotted a Belted Kingfisher resting in a tree...
The Eastern Bluebird seems to love the seeds of this plant the name of which I have forgotten...
I hope all of you have a good holiday weekend..,Im hoping for the best,,,
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
