We went birding & hiking along a stretch of the Yadkin River over the weekend. It was mid afternoon, sunny, temps in the mid 50’s -very unlike the weather we have been having over the last couple of months – the kind of day we have been waiting for.
We were walking in Daniel Boone’s foot steps. At least that is what t
his little engraved stone was telling us.On this spot, Squire Boone built a cabin for his family -including 16 year old Daniel Boone. Obviously this is not the cabin, but this one sits where the original one did.
Down near the river we came upon this cave -not really a cave but a cool spot sliced out from the hill – it’s believed that Boone hid out in this cave.
Here’s something that to me looks like a dew covered cob web. There were 16-18 of these in various size and shapes on the “ceiling” of the cave. Any one have a guess about what these are?
We saw plenty of Pine Sinking’s, Dark Eye Junco’s, Red Tailed & Red Shouldered Hawks & many birds that were too far away to get a good look at.
Boone had a great place to learn about wildlife, how to fish, spot birds & a place any 16 year old would love to find to get away & hide from his dad. The original man cave.
