Hopefully, I can get there in the spring, at least by mid-summer.<BR/><BR/>A decent pair of hiking boots with good traction and ankle support is always in order.

Once I started down a trail only to have the same feeling of fear you describe and I turned back too. I realized no one knew where I was and I doubted whether my cell phone would pick up a signal in the deep valley. <BR/><BR/>This does look like a wonderful park to visit and explore, in company.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273873865160002759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439136098177384900.post-89855100901414659052007-12-15T18:59:00.000+08:002007-12-15T18:59:00.000+08:00I like the tree with the huge roots.

They are all so beautiful. We went last year to a state park in north GA. with a beautiful water fall. We had to climb a lot of steps, forgot how many.

Going down is a piece of cake. Coming back up is well like your walk back on those steps. I did it one time and never again.<BR/>The sign says only go if in good health.Lilli & Nevadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543963287673840358noreply@blogger.com
