I walked up Ebb Ida Lane, the one which follows Featherstone Creek (the other listed on Google maps goes to a home), and then there are a number of trails (used by 4 wheelers on occasion) that weave back around the valley. You are then on the ridge between Couch and Rich mountains, you can follow it to the top. There are portions that may be private, but I saw no signs, other than the boot prints of another hiker.

I took this on the way back from a ride up Salt Creek to Elkinsville

This is also in the Moore's Creek leg of Lake Monroe. Because of bending of light at different angles, the ice looks gray in this direction, but blue in the opposite

This was taken in the Moore's Creek bay of Lake Monroe on February 2, 2008. The ice was about 2 inches thick, unlike 2007's 8 inch freeze.

Thanks! The week before the lake was totally frozen. But the ice melted into bits, the wind blew it against the causeway, then it re-froze overnight.e

This was taken looking north with snowbound lotus pods in the foreground

Thanks!!!
