Thorny Mountain Fire Tower and Seneca State Forest

 

The first 9 pictures here are from the Thorny Mountain Fire Tower; this whole post contains photos from Seneca State Forest where the tower is located.

Virginia Farm and Dan Ingalls Overlook

 

The first 6 pictures are from a farm located on Douthat State Park Road between the park and SR 39 to the north. The rest are from Dan Ingalls Overlook that I originally posted two weeks ago. Those pictures were taken in the afternoon during cloudy conditions; these were taken in the morning during clear, sunny conditions.

 

Douthat State Park

 

Douthat State Park in Virginia is tucked in a valley about 6 miles from Cliftondale Park or 8 miles from Clifton Forge. Despite being close to nearby towns, this is a rather quiet place to get away from the noise of the city. I imagine it is a bit busier in the summer, although I certainly didn't mind it this way.
