Piney Creek Wilderness, Table Rock Lake. Looking west towards Buck Hollow and Piney Creek. I took a short hike further east along the lakeshore to find a spot where I could see out across the lake.

Hammock camping in Irish Wilderness, April 2025. Camping near the pond may have been a mistake. The frogs and peepers were loud (80db), and didn’t stop until sun-up when the woodpeckers took over with the racket making. 3
