Corbett's Glen, Part 3

This is the third of a multi-post series on my first visit to Corbett's Glen.  It will make more sense if you read them in order:  Part 1  Part 2

This section of the path was bordered on both sides by bushes with bright red berries.

As the path curved away from the creek, the ground became very wet. For the rest of the loop, it was packed with wood chips, with sections of boardwalk across the soggiest bits.

At this point, the temperature increased by 8-10 degrees and it was very muggy.  Fortunately, we'd both brought along large cotton cloths [Andy's was a bandanna, mine an old dish towel] to mop sweaty necks and faces!

At the far end of the loop, a rough path split off to  he northeast around a steep-sided knoll.  It wasn't a groomed trail, but it wasn't marked as private property, either.  We may explore it next time we come.  For now, we stuck to the regular trail.

The return side of the loop circled around a couple of large clearings and away from the creek.  Lots of wildlife here:  small mammals rustling under the brush cover, and hordes of birds.

This section of the path was also home to scattered patches of a delicate, lacy gray mushroom.

Continued and concluded in the next post.
