Ferns
We walked a 32⁄3 mile loop today at the Patuxent River State Park, just upstream from Triadelphia Reservoir. We started at the parking area on Georgia Avenue (MD 97) where it crosses the Patuxent River, taking the trail closest to the river (the ‘Yellow’ trail) almost to Howard Chapel Road. The trail then loops to the south and west and we turned onto the ‘Red’ trail, crossing Howard Chapel Road, looping around and then returning to Howard Chapel Road near the Howard Chapel Cemetery. On the way back through the woods I took the only photo taken on the walk, of these ferns.
