I am thinking that the American Chestnuts will still be blooming on July 11 in the higher elevations. To that end, I would like to hike from Hale Lake to Comers Rock overlook.

I understand that there are some good sized chestnuts on that hike. It will be cool to find some big ones and start our chestnut chasers group going!

Also, when we get to the overlook, I want to launch a drone to see if it can spot any flowers from the air while we relax and picnic.
