Hiking Stone Valley

9 of us (8 women and W) hiked down the east side of Stone Valley today. The 3-mile hike to cars spotted at the other end was a perfect length. While the weather was gray, it didn't actually rain until we were at our post-hike lunch at the Hideaway Cafe just outside of Colton on Route 68. A very popular place with good food. There wasn't a lot of water in the river, but it was still picturesque.And there were LOTS of fungi around. Including this beauty.
