The River

Nice picture from Monday morning of the Mohican River about 3 miles south of us on this road...we have experienced some sunshine since Monday...so we are still happy down here in the valley.

AJ's Bar and Grill is OPENING!!!!!

We are excited to announce we will be opening AJs Bar & Grill the first week of December! Our Winter schedule will be Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays. Our starting menu will be simple...burgers, dogs, deli sandwiches, french fries, and other appetizers, and there will be a selection of beverages as well!

The atmosphere is warm, cozy, homey, and we hope you will enjoy spending an evening or weekend with us sometime in the near future! The atmosphere is completed with a pool table, juke box, dart board, video games, satellite TV, and... as long as the world's financial systems are still sort of working, we are proud to say we have the only ATM on the Wally Road Scenic Byway! (if the financial systems do collapse, we will accept eggs, nuts, cheese and potatoes as currency in exchange for beer. So start saving!)

Watch for New Year's Eve packages coming soon!

Thanks for keeping in touch with us!

Follow up to Sunday morning walk

i thought it would be neat to see the same things from last Sunday since we got snow

here are pictures of the valley, and the moss-covered log (now the snow-covered log)

here are Christmas Ferns covered in snow, and the buck rub again located at the switchback on the trail that leads to the Indian Smoke Signal Pit


Eastern White Pine cone , nestled in snow





check back again soon to see more great views of the grounds at Mohican River Inn!

Sunday Morning walk

I got away for 15 minutes and walked halfway up the hill. In that time I saw a bald eagle fly overhead, a deer run around the hill and out of sight, and some chipmunks.

The eagle sometimes follows the ridge up from the river valley and soars out over the Mohican River where it bends at the Lake Fork Tributary across from the smoke signal pit at the highest point on the ridge.

Also kicked up a deer. Fortunately it was a doe so it wasn't like I was invading her territory as opposed to a buck who may want me out of his territory this time of year...all hocked up on testosterone and such (the buck, that is, not me...). Here is a picture of the nearest "buck rub" I saw. They mark their territory by rubbing the smooth bark off young trees...a calling card that says 'stay back.'

Of course the camera is never fast enough to get the bald eagle. Someday maybe I will get a picture of her close up...

Their philosophy is inspiring and while not producing agricultural products at the inn, reflects our idea of sustaining the landscape we have.

It's worth a couple minutes look if you get a moment...
