This is an exciting new Adventure. Cade will teach Adventurers to explore nature and share their discoveries with the use of a smart phone. The Adventurers will need to bring their own smart phone with iNaturalists already loaded. Cade will show them how to record and log their observations.

Leader Jeremy Stout - The Doe River has been washing rocks down from Roan Mountain for as long as there has been a mountain. You will get in the creek (bring creek shoes) and discover all kinds of rocks that once were up on the mountain.

Larry will have a Moth Party at the Amphitheater. You can drop by, as space permits, and learn about the great diversity of night-life that comes to your porch light at night.
