So, we packed up our gear, a picnic lunch, and hit the road for the almost three hour drive. Once we got there, we ate lunch and hiked a small trail to the first of many waterfalls.
The waterfall emptied into a small pool area, then trickled on down into a creek. Bae & Brek wasted no time in changing into their swimsuits and taking to the water.
After swimming, they got changed back into dry clothes and we headed on to check out the "real" trails (as Bae called them.)
About 1/3 of the way through the hike, we came upon the "Devil's Bathtub". Bae was particularly freaked out by this and was certain that the legend about the "drain" at the bottom was absolutely true. (The legend claims that the drain goes down to hell itself.)
The next few scenes will totally take your breath away!
Next, we came to Old Man's Cave. In the 1800s, an old man actually lived here.
Finally, on our way off the trail, the boys got their picture on two trees whose roots were exposed and totally entertwined such that you couldn't tell which roots belonged to which tree. I thought it a very fitting analogy for our little family.
By now, we were exhausted and looking forward to an ice cream cone before we hit the road for home! Great day!
