My expectations for any outing, hike etc are usually optimistic. And I am rarely disappointed. We stayed for two nights post wedding at the Oak Mountain State Park. Very nice campground, nice area. One of my plans was a photo shoot across a lake at sunset. Nope, they lock the gate 30 minutes before sunset. Another was to photograph Previne Falls. This is the centerpiece of the park, 4 mile road to the top of the mountain, signs everywhere - so off we go. Long, slow, careful drive. OK. Arrived at the parking lot. It is huge. We strap on our boots and I pack all my gear, not sure what I might need for the photo. We hike down a trail about 1/2 mile and then off the main trail to the falls trail. Lots of warning signs, steep, loose rocks and narrow paths. That’s ok. We climb down about 190 feet to the floor of a small ravine and then start toward the falls. I was worried that I did not hear water and it had rained for three days after Hurricane X came through just six days earlier. Well I think the falls is overrated. Our trailer shower puts out more water. The entire falls might be 15 feet tall. Anyway, you still get to see the shot.

Cadillac Tracks - I was still in recovery mode, I think I had 7 too many floats, but my failing health did not stop the driver from dragging me up and down rocks suitable for goats not moose. Plus there was nothing to eat and my hoofs still hurt. Luckily we had to drive a distance and I got a nice nap. And there was ice cream in the freezer, so all is well. We are headed to something more moosey tomorrow. Can’t wait.
