The Plummer’s Hollow road/trail now has a second bench up near the fork, where the public portion ends. Thanks to Eric Oliver for hauling it down there from up near the garage of the main house, where it had been installed in the 1950s (we think) as part of a round of improvements by then-owners Kenneth Plumb and Phyllis Plummer Plumb. We decided to move it in part because of a comment that a visitor had left in the trail registry, suggesting that it might be nice for walkers who made it the whole way to have a place to rest and enjoy the ambiance of the upper hollow.
Speaking of the trail registry, we’ve replaced the old notebook, and added a QR code to the outside of the registry stand, near the entrance signboard, for anyone who prefers to submit comments by email.
As for why anyone would WANT to walk up the hollow now, with all the bugs and humidity: it’s a longhorn beetle orgy on the wild hydrangeas! Much longhorniness. And the black cohosh are beginning to bloom…
