Today we drove to the Mohican area, to vist the Castle and take a hike. Above is some trailing arbutus, a heavenly-smelling wildflower and hard to find. It was just past it's prime, but still lovely.

We stopped at the Overlook in Mohican State Forest, where several turkey vultures were soaring above the river valley. The leaves were just beginning to show some green.

Then we went down to the river valley, where Cris and I hiked up a trail along a stream. The trilliums covered the valley floor in some places, along with many other spring wildflowers. It turned out to be pretty hot, but we had a good hike.

Before that, we had lunch at the Mohican Castle, and a tour of the main buildings.

It is an amazing structure, and the suites inside are very plush and comfortable.
The grounds were lovely, and we enjoyed them. The Castle hosts special events, too, like weddings and parties.
