After going up and down a few hills, we met the White trail and followed Ridley Creek a bit.
Yay for self-timers in cameras! I think I set the camera on the big ol'log above to take this next picture:
After another while of following some more trails, Sue wanted to venture out on an unmarked trail, most likely a deer trail.
I spied a 4" centipede on the ground and managed to get my camera out and turned on quickly enough to take these 3 pictures:

Sue petted the myriapod, cause it was so cute :)
These next 3 remind me of the cover of REM's album 'Murmur'. Maybe that stuff really is kudzu. I know I've seen kudzu around here already, but I can't yet identify it without leaves...
Back on the human trail, we pose for another timed shot. This time I was able to balance the camera on a rock at just the right angle.
We drove over to the other side of the park, near where the rangers' office is. There's an old stone mansion here with a spectacular yard.
This frog got petted by a Snib too. he didn't move though, he was so comfortable, or else the water was just cold.
Here is the frog in the light of a flash: big difference! I haven't decided which frog shot I like better.
This tree is being devoured by thick vines.
In back of the stone house runs a pretty creek. Here the creek poses with a pretty Snib!
None of the pictures of the house came out well. That is why you don't see any here.
