IN SEARCH OF D'CODA 01/27/07

Wheeler Cemetery entrance into Hurricane Wilderness

Packing up supplies for D'Coda

We barely had enough room

We head out for today's adventure

....we will be in search

...for the "wilderness" lady

It was a long way down into the valley

...but this was downhill! What about getting out?

Arriving in the valley

The "Mirkwood" Cabin

Inside the Mirkwood Cabin

We could not find her, so we decided to eat

...and eat we did

...but where is D'Coda?

What a neat place

...But wait!, Who is that?

Could it be?

Yes, I believe it is

We found D'Coda

She didn't think we were going to make it

but we did and now were anxious to hear her story

We all gathered around

We listened with amazement

D'Coda telling us her story

D'Coda and her faithful "protective" dog

Our question was, could we do what she was doing?

D'Coda and Dr. Chuck

Our search had ended. We found D'Coda, we were amazed with her stories and we got to hike into the Hurricane Wilderness.  Doesn't get any better than this!

We will return.
