Elevation about 2000 above the River on a gravel road. We had an Olympia Marble fly down the mountain side along with West Virginia White and Falcate Orangetip. Wild Mustard and redbud trees were blooming on the rock face but it floated down to nectar at our feet! Then we chased it for 200 yards to get more photos!
