It is now almost a quarter of a century since the devastating hurricane and the fallen tree trunks that were left lying there have been almost completely disappeared …

Stopped again briefly: wooden plank adventure world.
You can definitely take a look if you drive past it anyway.

Lothar Trail.

Very nicely laid out route. 🌲

In memory of Hurricane Lothar in 1999.

Just great to see how the vegetation always finds a way. 😍
