no spring peepers

Last night was the spring peepers walk on south mountain. It was one of the events I signed up for that day in January when I went crazy signing up for things.

I thought it was 7-8 but didn't get an email. I checked the website and I swore it said 7:30-8:30 so I arrived at 7:15.  Cars were in the lot including one from the Wildlands. But no one was in site. Clearly 7 was the correct time. But I was puzzled. Wildlands events NEVER start on time. Get Out Lehigh Valley walks start at least a half hour late. When we did the owl hike in January we started late and then had a half hour of owl education until it got dark. Bottom line. These things NEVER start on time. Clearly last night it did.

From the pics on the web site I thought maybe I knew where they were going. I hiked over there and no, not there. Then the Alpine Trail goes to a creek. So I headed there. Not there either.  Dusk was waining, so I hightailed it back to the car. I didn't want to spend the night in the woods.
