The Shoe Tree

While walking the Trail it is hard to miss the rather large fern arising from the boots of the Cabbage Palm trees.  Lift up the leaf and you will see the spores of the Golden Polypoidy arraigned in 2 rows next to the vein.

 

But you don’t have to lift the leaf as you can probably fine on on the ground

 

But be careful that you avoid the Poison Ivy climbing on the tree limbs

 

Or that you don’t get grabbed by the tendrils of the Smilax vine

 

But be most careful on this part of the Trail

 

For here lurks the shoe tree just waiting to reach out and grab your footwear.
