SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Western North Carolina - Duskywings\, Elfins\, Hairstreaks
DESCRIPTION:Due to the forecast for rainy weather all weekend\, this trip has been CANCELLED. \nThis full CBS 2-day field trip will be held in western North Carolina where we will visit two different locations. Our target species will be Duskywings\, Elfins\, Hairstreaks\, Cobweb Skipper and\, if we’re lucky\, possibly a “late” Olympia Marble. Pete Dixon will be our leader on both days. \nThe first day will be spent hiking on River Road and Polecat Hollow along the French Broad River outside of Hot Springs\, NC. The meeting location is Broadwing Farm\, 20 Berry Wills Road\, Hot Springs\, NC at 10:00 am. Park in front of the “event venue” building that’s located at 165 Broadwing Farm Lane\, Hot Springs\, NC (GPS coordinates 35.9008\, -82.8291). Use the following link https://www.broadwingfarmcabins.com/the-farm/directions/ for additional information and specific directions from nearby cities. Hiking level is easy and there are restrooms a short distance away. \nThe second day will be spent visiting sites in the Sandy Mush Game Lands which has a diversity of early successional and managed grassland habitats and creek bottoms. The meeting location is the parking lot on Bear Creek Road near Marshall\, NC at 10:00 am. There is no specific street address\, but the parking lot entrance (GPS coordinates 35.7271\, -82.7010) is located about 150 feet southwest of 2717 Bear Creek Road\, Marshall\, NC. The following Google Maps link https://maps.app.goo.gl/crkdKUBGcAwrNuXe9/ can also be used to view the parking lot location. Hiking trails are easy but there are some hills. Restrooms are not available. \nFor places to stay overnight\, there are several rental cabins and B&Bs in the county and nearby. Mars Hill has a Comfort Inn\, and there is a Fairfield Inn in Weaverville (Buncombe County). For something unusual\, the old jail in Marshall is now a boutique hotel. Hot Springs has many short-term rental properties. Mars Hill\, Marshall\, Hot Springs\, and Weaverville each have a variety of restaurants and brewery taprooms. Weaverville is about 40 minutes from Broadwing Farm; Marshall is about 25 minutes; Mars Hill is about 35 minutes. Hot Springs is about 5 minutes away. Obviously\, there are many hotels and restaurants in Asheville\, which would be another 10 to 30 minutes\, depending on what area of Asheville you are in. If you want to try Hot Springs\, check with Mary Helen Adamson for lodging at 828-206-7010 or visit the website at https://hotspringsnc.org/. \nAs indicated above\, Pete Dixon\, who can be reached at the email address listed below\, is the leader for these field trips.
