 Guest River2378 viewsThis is typical of what you will see of the Guest River.

There are a couple of larger cascades that I could not get to due to time restrictions but, rest assured I will return in the Fall when the leaves are gone.

 Should have called this Lost Creek2377 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.

 My Iron Man Is A Woman2377 viewsMy Granddaughter competing and winning a local bike race.

She is my Iron Man (iron Woman) because she finished Iron Man Louisville.

A little more effort and she may be able to qualify as an "Old Albatross" crew member.

 Ami and Shannon2375 viewsMost hikers know it is not so much the trail as those who hike the trail.

Shannon, on the left, is a Nurse Lou and I met descending to the falls at Glen Burney park in Blowing Rock, NC.

Reaching the falls is no "Walk In The Park" but, these two were so determined they brought along flash lights just in case of nightfall before completion.

ATTABOY, Girls. Keep in touch so we may hike again.

 Indian Falls2374 viewsI only classify this as a ** due to there being a small descent and underneath an outcropping of rocks.

Note: both photos of Indian Falls have had water spot removal to make them usable.

 On Top2373 viewsThe trail crosses at a safe distance above the top of Upper Creek Falls but, that does not discourage the risk takers from venturing to the edge.
