Yesterday we spent an afternoon hiking around Bearwallow Mountain. At first we decided we wanted to trek to the creek, and that trek took us on an adventure down the mountain. We got back, showered, and headed over the river and through the woods to grandma's house. We had a great time, ate some great food, and had some great company. It was fun to be able to ride around Bonclarken and see the new family house there. We had fun, had some laughs and then headed back to Gerton.
Today we went for a beautiful visit to Chimney Rock State Park. We hiked up to Chimney Rock and then further on up to Exclamation Point. After a brief rest at the Sky Lounge while listening to a dulcimer musician play we hiked over to Hickory Nut Falls. After hiking for many hours we drove back up Hwy 74 and pulled over to put our feet in the ice cold river. The water was absolutely cold, but was soothing to our sore feet.
Wes cooked pizza and I cooked some vegetable stir-fry for dinner. We filled up, played a game of Clue, and then had a final night bonfire. Now I'm uploading some photos, we might play a little poker, and then it is bedtime. We have to be up early in the morning to pack, load up, clean up, and head back to Alabama. Our restful vacation is has been great while it lasted, but alas! All good things must come to an end.
