Thanks for the tips! There are a lot of trees in our woods.
A town park is very nearby, just a block or two away. The creek behind our house runs over there, so we share the same wildlife, trees, etc. Every year we see multitudes of people scouring for morels there. They don’t stay on the beaten path at all.
I will try to get to other side of the creek tomorrow. Maybe I will find something after all.
Getting off the beaten path is usually a good plan, but don’t neglect to look at the edge of the parking lot and along that beaten path on your way out to the honey hole. Many people, in their haste to get away from everyone else, miss the ones that are right under their noses.
