Camp Creek, the end!.jpg
Should have called this Lost Creek2366 viewsAfter leaving the Freewill Baptist Camp (really niece folks) the creek suddenly went into a spring??? After becoming acquainted with all the down pines on the mountain side we blundered into where the creek disappeared into the ground, yep, just soaked in the ground. This is not a trickle but, a pretty good creek and it went underground to the spring. footnote: Only springs I saw in the Coast Guard ere made of metal.Jul 22, 2011

Don't try this at home_.jpg
Not for everyone.2350 viewsGet in shape before trying this one. There was storm damage well before the 2011 tornado that hit the area and it is over logs and without a trail most of the way.

If you are in good physical shape this will be fun and check your resolve. But, hey, I am old so I SHOULD be tired.
