Rapids on the South Branch of Quantico Creek.

Ken found this persistent variety of mushroom still growing in January. (Panellas stipticus or Luminescent Panellas. Not edible/may be poisonous!)

Ken, Chuck, Don, Mary, John, Larry, Mary and Stella pose for a group shot in front of the location of the Cabin Branch Pyrite Mine.

John, Larry and Don explore the foundations of some locomotive sheds.

Quantico Falls, our lunchtime view.

Robert Taylor operated a farm now located in the center of the park. He is buried there.

While other beaver dams in the park have disappeared this one on the South Branch is still being maintained.

American Holly (Ilex opaca) was plentiful along the South Branch.

A small but gushing waterfall near the end of our trek.
