It's a dream of ours that one day we will hike the Appalachian Trail and since the trailhead is outside of Atlanta at Amicalola Falls we made our way there and hiked to the top of the falls dreaming of the day we will return for the full hike. What a beautiful state park. Definitly check it out if in the area and take the hike to the top.
From there we made our way to Neel Gap, Georgia to the Walasi-yi Inn which we first read about in the book - "A Walk in the Woods". That's my Project 365 picture of the day - Kent standing out front of the Inn.
The Inn sits adjacent to the trail so we did a short section hike where we ran into a black bear shortly after departing!
From there we headed to the Great Smoky Mountians National Park. Beautiful park where we saw deer, wild turkeys and more bears - drove through the entire park before ending the day in Knoxville.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Jim

Dad's comment;"I have never seen anyone who travels as much as they do." Mom's commentyou two really keep your Gaurdian Angels on their toes; black bears indeed. Daniel Boone may have been one of your ancestors Jim,but that was a long time removed! Stay safe we love you Mom and Dad
ReplyDeleteThat's alot of travels - at least you enjoy it and the experience is immeasurable!
ReplyDeleteI love the waterfall...a work colleague lives on Stone Mountain and sometimes when I'm on the phone with her, she will say excuse me there's a bear in the back yard, I have to get the dog.
