Joe Pye weeds of Finger Island, with flowers a bit past their peak color.
The Finger from its tip. So regular and un-natural seeming.
This is the place off the path running along the northern shore of Finger Lake where I accessed the island. I suppose the associated rock pictured below becomes Access Rock? You simply cross the trunk of a small fallen tree just below the rock to easily reach the island. I would guess Finger Island is a third as big as the whole lake itself. Could be overestimating this.
Weeds along the trail. We are definitely on the doorstep of autumn.
These stepping stone style rocks are where I cross Leola Creek below the Finger Lake dam to get to the most southern part of Rediscovery.
Nearby elongated rock in the center of the creek.
Looking back toward the dam from the crossing.
A house probably marking the eastern edge of Rediscovery, where wilderness meets civilization again.
And then we come to locations from the next day, which would be yesterday as I’m writing this text. This is the first time this summer — and years and years actually — that I’ve explored this region, which can be accessed by an old road splitting off from Water Plant Road to the *south* (as Rediscovery lies north of this same road). Much more woods are found here, with multiple old roads crossing the area. The below photo depicts a more open area in these woods.
These snapshots comes from the edge of a a torn down plant once making top secret electronics.
