Arriving at Sylamore Creek Trail (Blanchard)

The rain stopped just as we started! Yea!

Sylamore Creek

On the trail (5-miles to go)

Beautiful!

Only 4-miles to go

What does Cathy have? Stay tuned!

Spiderwort

A nice coiled Copperhead

Rock sculpture

Columbine

Aster

Fungi

Cathy has Annabelle

Gloria has a wildflower

and Brenda is smelling the honeysuckle

3-miles to go

Not sure this is a good lunch?

Cathy showing Jack how to put on the baby carrier

.... and I don't think Jack is going to figure it out!

Annabelle didn't like being "harnessed in"

2-miles to go

.... so we took turns carrying her

Chuck about to fall?

More rock sculpture

1.5-miles to go

Brenda takes her turn

It was time to cool Annabelle off

Jack gets his turn

Chuck gets his turn

Us below an un-named waterfall

Crossing Sylamore Creek

We made it without getting rained on ..... but it

didn't matter, we got wet anyway!

Our reward before heading out of town

.... and of course dessert!
