Mountain Trip ~Part2~

Tennessee Mountains



Ready for our first hiking trip.

(Altogether, we, except momma, James and Mary, hiked 35 miles, straight up and down,

except for about 5 miles.)

Sugarland
(2 miles in - 2 miles out.)
Liv, these stairs don't go any higher.

After 2 miles in,

we reach the welcome center.

(Time for us old folks to rest.)

Time for some good ole' country cookin.


Doing a little weeding,

while looking out for the bears wondering around.


Just finished building the walkway.

(Great job, Mr. McIntosh)


Our morning view.

Amazing Beauty.

Ariana has a "Different" way of doing hair.

(All left sides first.)

:)

(Then the right sides.)

Wouldn't you just love to be out on your property farming

with this view.

I sure would.


1800's Church.

The acoustics were amazing.

No need for a sound system here.

Pastor Ben and Deacon James.






On our way to Abram Falls.

Now this is what you call refreshing after a loooong walk.



Dad and Alvin are under the falls,

getting their message.


Ready, set......


and there he goes.



Ready, set......


and there he still is.



The gangs (not) all here.

ha ha

On the way home for another BIG meal.


Liv's house.


(She's moving in next week.)

Wonderful pictures!! It looks like y'all had a blast. :)
The scenery is beautiful, and it looks like y'all went to a lot of neat places. What fun. :)

Your pictures sure have made Michael want to go up there again. He has been telling me all about y'all's relatives in TN and NC, and the neat places. :)

Your next trip needs to be S Missouri.... ;)
