Just a reminder that tomorrow's outing at Enoch's Branch near Grundy is still
on despite the forecast for rain. Since there is a picnic shelter there we can
retreat to it if the rain becomes too heavy. Remember to bring a lunch and
drinks. If the bird activity tomorrow is like it is here on the mountain this
morning, it should be a good day. At Enoch's Branch we usually get Blue-winged
Warblers and sometimes Golden-winged Warblers. We sometimes find Vesper and
Savannah Sparrows passing through. Since this is prime migration time anything
is possible.
For anyone who may not remember how to get there here are directions from
Grundy.
Following Rte 460 into town from the Richlands direction you will come to a
traffic light just after passing the Buchanan County Court House on your right.
Turn right at the light onto Rte 83 toward WV. Drive 2.4 miles. A couple
hundred feet after passing Brian's Stop and Shop (a combination store and gas
station) on your left, and just before crossing a small concrete bridge you
will see a sign on the left for Enoch's Branch Park. The road to Enoch's Branch
Park at the turn is a bit narrow and goes past a large, light brick home.
Follow the paved but narrow road to the top of the mountain to the park. Near
the top you will pass through an open gate. Continue past the first picnic
shelter on up the mountain until you see the baseball field and a second picnic
shelter.
We will see you there.
