Dry Falls. You can walk behind these but we rarely go down and do this—simply because we have done it so many times and there is a parking fee. So, we just jump out of the car, walk to the overlook, take photos and leave. Wessy looking down at the falls. Here's Wessy at the [...]
When we left Wesser Bald, Wessy and I led the way down the once well-used Jeep road. Those who "lived" atop the fire tower for weeks, if not months, used it as access for supplies. We always hike back this way. It's about the same distance only straight down without switch backs. The only tower [...]
I always look forward to hiking Wesser Bald. It is a moderate hike along the Appalachian Trail (AT) leaving from Tellico Gap. This year was even more special because I had Wessy with me. So Wessy got to hike Wesser Bald and she did great! We started off with a couple of dogs and four [...]
Linville Falls is the most popular waterfall in the Blue Ridge Mountains because of its accessibility to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a spectacular three-tiered waterfall plunging into Linville Gorge beginning with the upper falls in this photo. The Visitor's Center is at Mile Marker 316. To find information on the two hiking trails along [...]
I'm going to try to keep this short, so I can just get it posted. We hiked Cow Rock Mountain (again) and it did not disappoint. The trail has changed some because there has been so much rain and also because there are not as many hikers on it right now. It is a part [...]
The Secret has long been "out." Secret Falls located about six miles outside of Highlands, NC, is a new favorite, and Wessy gives it a "five-paw" experience. Locals call it a secret and try not to tell anyone about these beautiful falls. We got there mid-afternoon and thought we had plenty of time to go [...]
I absolutely love ridgeline views along the Appalachian Trail. For one thing, if I'm on a ridgeline, I usually don't have to climb a lot—well, in my dreams. In places, the trail just rolls along. The AT views as the trail moves through Georgia is so much fun to hike. We went back to Wildcat [...]
We (three of us) have been wanting to get an older boat forever. We finally found one that doesn't need any work; it's lake ready but we are restoring this and that on the boat itself. Broken Bridges is the office end to the Tugaloo River Water Trail. The boat will be used to check [...]
