Thursday was a bit wet
But that didn't stop these intrepid hikers

The hike was moved from Mt. Adams to the Middle Salmon River
Thus both the hike and the ramble started from the same place
on The E. Salmon River Road

Here are the ramblers being assembled by their efficient and fearless leader

Here are the hikers being assembled nearby

This is the trail that the hikers followed

It was a nice trail

The views of the river were wonderful

After following the river for awhile we climbed to a view Point

This trio was happy they were at the top and it was time for lunch

Coming down was easy

There were lots of mushrooms

There were lots of Russula brevipes
These are edible but they are not choice

This is an interesting mushroom in that may times
it becomes infected by another parasite that turns it orange
and it becomes the sought after Lobster mushroom
Joan and I have gathered Lobster mushrooms and they are wonderful
I will be on a foray in the coast range on Wednesday looking for Lobster mushrooms

This is probalby also a Russula but I do not yet know the species. I am working on it

This was a lonely solitary mushroom growing on a log
