Come with me, take a deeeeppp breath, you might need it.
Hope you have your hiking boots on
Here we go, up, up and up
Breathe
Breathe
Keep breathing
there, I told you it was worth it, there are about 20 of these trees and they are full of Resurrection fern. At the top of the mound we look up at the trees and down on the trees and have a 360 degree view of Old and beautiful trees, acres of them. the boardwalk is built around the trees and has many spots to sit and stare.
Note: Bring Bug Spray
Resurrection fern, dies and gets dead and ugly if there is no rain for 2 days, but after the rain, this is what it does. Above was a piece that had fallen to the ground. it is a 5000 dollar fine to remove Anything from the park, and that includes this tempting little morsel.

Those old trees are absolutely beautiful, what a wonderful walk this would be. This area looks so familiar to me, I wonder if I have been there? It would have been a looooong time ago.
That looks a great walk and what an interesting fern. Thanks for all your nice comments.
What a fabulous place..I can understand why it has that name!! How lovely..I know I'd enjoy a walk through this gorgeous place. We have these growing here too, but it's the ferns that attaches itself to the trees right? What kind of trees are they? Anyway..this is unique and I love your series of trees and all the lush green today-
You are so right, it is beautiful. You are so lucky to be within minutes of so many beautiful parks.
This one looks so peaceful and cool.
I just feel better now!
What a beautiful place. I'd love to be there with you.

Absolutely gorgeous, thanks for taking us along.
Wow these trees are so beautiful with moss. I noticed as I ran by them!

What cool trees! BTW -- do you use homemade bug repellent? Beth has this thing about chemicals....here is what she uses....1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and one cup of water. Put in a spray bottle. You need to make new each time or two....Works great! And no chemicals!
Thanks for the walk(s)! I've just been catching up with the last few posts, both forest and seaside, but too lazy to come up with comments for each of them. Looks nice to have that boardwalk among the old trees and be able to see a bit of nature that I guess would otherwise not be so easy for everyone to access.
I'm glad we made it to the top. I really like that big old tree. Resurrection ferns are fascinating.
I must be in better shape than I thought.I'm not the least bit tired from that walk.lol The beauty is astounding.Love all the scenes.
Loved the walk!!
that looks like a fabulous park. I imagine that it must have been quite a work out doing all that walking. I think I would have loved it.
What a beautiful walk and trees - is this near your home - do you walk it every day? Those old trees are awesome.

Really beautiful, it all looks like Rhett and Scarlett will be walking there any minute, hand in hand. I love the spanish moss, too.
Beautiful scenery. Would love to take a walk on that boardwalk.
Hey, I had a great walk and didn't even need any bug spray. Think I am going to try the recipe for bug spray in Remington's comment.
