Hurricane Creek Natural Bridge 11/06/10 |
|
We are going a new way today .... all eighteen of us and Flint! |
|
Hurricane Creek |
|
A tall "ice flower" |
||
|
|
If there were more water we would not be going this way. |
|
|
Piles of stones marking our way |
The OHT route was 5.0 miles .... our way was 2.0 miles, big difference! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now to find the old road! |
A distressed tree |
Fannie did not want to get wet, but eventually she did! |
|
We found the fence so we are getting close! |
|
Rest time |
|
The old road/fire trail |
||
|
This is Flint ..... lots of energy, but he is just a puppy! |
This is the rest of the group ....not puppies! |
|
|
Almost to the Wilderness Area |
||
|
We finally made it to the OHT |
Around this bend you can access the Natural Bridge |
|
|
Kind of up where Zach is .... is the access. |
||
|
Entering in the bluffs |
|
|
|
Trails don't get much better than this ... and this isn't even a trail! |
Bluffs below the Natural Bridge |
|
|
|
We ran across campers below the bridge |
Sign "Natural Bridge" |
|
If you are a rock climber, this would be a "shortcut" up. |
||
|
...and there it is! |
|
|
|
We would usually go up there, but not today. |
This was the last picture that I downloaded...all the rest from this point on are "GONE"! |
|
|
Lost the last half of my pictures ....somewhere in cyberspace! And they were the best ones of course! |
||
|
BELOW ARE SOME GREAT PICTURES THAT TERRENCE CONANT SHARED .... HE SAID HE LOST SOME OF HIS PICTURES ALSO...WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? |
