As I rode fem Pgh to DC over the last few days, I noted that paw paw fruit is ripening and could be a native food source along the C&O Towpath in particular. If you are not familiar with the trees and the fruit, a little Google searching will provide useful information. As they kept telling Mikey, “Try it, you’ll like it.”.

Sorry you may have to be as old as I am to appreciate that quip.

The better news is that the trails are not littered with many walnuts yet.

Paw Paws are awesome! I used to live in Jefferson City, Missouri and there was a guy at the farmers' market who sold them. I'm so glad I bought a few and tried them.

PS: Congratulations on someone finding and returning your phone.
