We went into the park
today. First we drove out a gravel road
along Middle Prong River and then walked the trail that led along an old RR
bed. We were walking on a carpet of
leaves surrounded by a colorful forest.
It was a slow, uphill hike. The
farther up we got, the fewer leaves were on the trees. The river we walked beside was pretty with
several rapids and cascade sections.
We walked until we decided
to turn back. Then we ate lunch near the
parking area while sitting on logs among the crunchy leaves.
Next we drove to an area
called “The Sinks” which is basically a small, but powerful waterfall that crashes
and churns into a deep pool.
After that we went on to
L’il Greenbrier School and looked in the school and an old cemetery. Then we caught the trail up to the Walker
Sisters’ Cabin. It was only 1.1 miles to
get there, but we had some with little legs who really wanted to walk on their
own, so it took a little longer than normal.
J We
finally made it there and back again.
The cabin was really old and neat.
There was a spring house and a small silo/barn type structure. We headed back to our cabin after that to
have supper and birthday brownies.
(Arlie turns 2 on Monday!)
Then … it was time for Bama
football. The AL-LSU game. The big one.
And boy was it ever. This is the
first game that I can’t wait to watch again – partly because I made the girls
go to bed at the beginning of the 4th Q and I want them to see the
final touchdown series! It was a fun way
to end the day. Roll Tide.
