7/28/13 Parked off the BRP at Green Knob and hiked up to the Fire Tower then down Lost Cove Ridge to the South Toe River at the Black Mountain Campground. Great place to cool the dogs out in the creek before I turned around and climbed back up to the parkway.



The tower was locked.
 


The views from the trail are great.




Felix looking down the trail. It got pretty thick in a few places.

This is the biggest mushroom I have ever seen:
Full size Nalgene.
