This is my first time entering a contest. I thought it would be a good place to start because my pal Maverick, (seen here smelling the violets), spend a good deal of time wandering around in the woods.
This spot is NY state owned land. They don't maintain it at all. the path you see is where they buried a cable line a long time ago. I started walking here back in the late 90's, it looked pretty much the same as it does now. So I have no idea when they actually buried a cable, but for some reason trees don't grow on the trail even 20 years later. Apparently the violets however have no problem growing here in large numbers.
