After we left the Botzum area, we stopped at Hametown. I wanted to drop off Timmy's mail and to visit with Billy and Jim. Turns out Jim was home, so we visited with Billy for awhile, and talked about his classes. We then headed south to Vanderhoof. This area has been a gold mine of late,and today was no exception. The butterflies were out in force, many, many species of them. We also saw two spiders, one with an elaborate web and several meals stocked up. The other was on a flower, (Queen Anne's Lace) and was in the process of devouring a bee. We walked north to Eastern Road. The trail isn't open here, but the barriers aren't up any longer. In fact, although a sign said, "Trail Closed," The trail was wide open. I actually ventured onto the "closed" portion for several hundred feet, but turned around out of sheer tiredness and hotness. Another day.
