High Shoals Falls


Have I mentioned that it has rained a lot here in No. Georgia?? I believe 23 days out of the 30 days we've been here. Yesterday morning was cloudy and overcast...but no rain. Optimistic, we headed for High Shoals Waterfall--a short 1.5 mile hike in. The sun was actually shining when we arrived at the trailhead. It was a pleasant walk--getting darker, but we were descending rapidly and the canopy overhead was covering us. It began to rain...really pour just before we reached the falls. We took a cursory look, not daring to expose the camera to the deluge, and slogged back up the trail to the truck. Expecting nothing less of him, Al had various rain gear in the truck...and drenched and dripping, we exchanged our soaked clothes for the only dry stuff we had. I chose the yellow, ankle length, drover style raincoat with detachable hood and stylish snaps. Al selected an ensemble of forest green rainpants with matching jacket--very chic! And thus attired, sun once again shining, we drove the 10 miles back to the RV park. It is pouring again...

Tomorrow is a travel day. We're headed to Bluff City, TN.
