We took off with Cliff after the rain on Friday afternoon to Rising Fawn. I know that isn't a far "get away" from home, yet the porch and the fenced in dog pen had gotten our attention.
It was a wonderful place for us and Cliff!
There was a peace pole outside the front door. Peace poles are meaningful to me and this one had several things that caught my attention.
The screened in back porch was perfect for us and Cliff. It was a wonderful place for coffee, reading, writing, and dinner our first night.
We walked the Sitton Gulch Trail on Saturday morning. It was our 2nd time there; Cliff's first. There was so much trillium! Some of it was already blooming. There were many other wild flowers-- tooth wort, anemone, yellow things that I forgot their name, etc. The creek, was flowing quite nicely.
After a break back at our place, we took Cliff to Cloudland Canyon State Park. We went to the 2nd overlook, then walked a portion of the blue trail. Then we drove to the back side a went on the Pathkiller Loop Trail. It was a 1.1 trail, going through the woods and coming out onto a road to take back to the cars. We probably did about 4 miles total.
We stopped at the Guild Trail on our way home today. We walked in to the 2nd Bridge and back. We saw the Incline go by twice (no photos).
Cliff was a trooper during our expeditions.
It was good to have some nature/outdoor time this weekend and some time away.
Peace, be still.
