This weekend we tackled the Southbrook Trail at Haverford Reserve, with Brynne and Sloane.
 |
| Southbrook Trail starts as a wide graveled path ... |
 |
| ... then it becomes dirt with rocks |
 |
| A meadow of Ampelopsis brevipedunculata/Porcelain Berry vines, with South Brook in the ravine to the right |
 |
| We leave the Haverford Reserve and proceed on the Quadrangle Woods Trail, crossing South Brook |
 |
| Recrossing South Brook |
 |
| We later learned that The Quadrangle is a continuing care retirement community/CCRC on 75 acres of land; they maintained their trails with bamboo edging |
 |
| Something man-made in the woods |
 |
| This concrete slab was used as a bridge |
 |
| Another bridge on the Quadrangle Woods Trail |
 |
| Fireplace and chimney appear to be all that is left of a log cabin |
 |
| Beehives and the purple-flowered Paulownia tomentosa/Empress Tree |
 |
| It is the end of the blooming season for the Empress Tree |
 |
| The Quadrangle Woods Trail ended in an open area |
 |
| Evidence of a millrace and mill building ruins |
