This joint outing for TCWP and the Tennessee Native Plant Society (TNPS) will be a rerun of a previous outing that featured the best powerline fall wildflower show your outing leader has seen. Hopefully some of the bog orchids will still be in flower, but mostly we will be seeing goldenrods and asters.
We will meet for carpooling in Oak Ridge at the Gold’s Gym/Books-A-Million parking lot (at the end close to S. Illinois Avenue, near Salsarita’s) in time to leave at 8:45 a.m. Eastern, or you can meet the group at the Shell station on the south side of the I-40 Peavine Rd. exit in Crossville at 9 a.m. Central, 10 a.m. Eastern.
We will walk on flattish ATV roads, with a short outing into a boggy area. Total walking distance will be about two miles. The road in is a little rough, but quite drivable for most vehicles. Heat may be a problem, but we will be close to our cars and thus air conditioning. Bring water, a lunch, and bug spray.
