adventure hike

along our hike in perinton, i saw a lot of long johns. not so surprisingly, no one knows what the heck long johns are. they're often mistaken for black raspberries, but they're blackberries. it's pretty easy to tell the difference just by looking at them. raspberries (red and black) are capped. when they fall off the bush in your hand, a cap is left on the bush. blackberries, on the other hand, don't have a cap and come cleanly off the bush. both are seedy, but blackberries tend to be a bit jucier than black raspberries. either way, it doesn' t get better than a handful of nice sweet berries on a hot summer day.
