And I quote, "This hike is mostly flat.". Boy did our illustrious hike leader con us on this one! Just look at the altitude graph I have included with the pictures. Maybe it was just a ploy to get more members to come? Anyway, it was another perfect day for a short 3.2 mile hike. Personally I would say that this hike was a little more on the moderate side than on the easy side. There are many trails in and around Fall Creek Falls. The trail chosen led the 16 of us down to the waterfalls (lots of steps) and out to some beautiful overlooks. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of water going over the falls, but it was beautiful anyway. It was a good thing that we started relatively early as by the time we were finishing there were lots of people showing up at the park. Following the 2.5 hr hike everyone was starving. The entire group went to the Dalton Restaurant and had a very nice lunch and good conversation. If you would like to see a bunch of pictures including maps and altitude graphs, click here. If you are trying to view the pictures through the TTA website and having trouble, pleas go directly to the Blog at www.sdctta.blogspot.com. Google Chrome is the prefered browser.
This weeks joke.... A pastor is hiking the AT when he comes across a huge black bear, he drops to his knees and prays "Oh Lord protect me." He looks over and the bear is on his knees also! The Pastor says " Oh thank god it's a Christian bear. Then he hears the bear pray "Oh Lord thank you for the gifts we are about to receive".
