Itinerary:

Please join me at Picketts Mill Historic Battlefield. five miles in about 2 1/2 hours Pace of hike will be slow and easy. We will take a few quick water breaks.

I have found that Picketts Mill, after a few days of rain, has literally hundreds of mushrooms - odd shapes, sizes, colors, etc. So I'm hoping for rain this week so we'll have great mushroom viewing on Saturday. I can't promise we'll see mushrooms but we'll try our hardest to find them.
