Today four of us Bread Loafers headed south to the DuPont State Forest to do some hiking around some waterfalls we had heard about. They were absolutely lovely. I never realized how many waterfalls North Carolina has, but it sure does seem to have a lot. It seems like every hike I hear about has some falls or another as a main attraction.
This is me in front of Hooker Falls which were the first falls of the day. There were lots of people on the trail--and many dogs, too. We happened to have a well-mannered golden retriever with us because Liz was doing some dog-sitting.
Then we hiked up to Triple Falls and ended the day at the High Falls. Here's a photo of that:
We ended just in time for the rains to come and cool everything down nicely.
My weirdest sighting of the day? A man was literally walking his pet ferret on a leash. So strange, and I had a hard time keeping myself from staring. He had two other ferrets in his backpack as well. I wanted to get a picture but I didn't have my camera on me, and then it began to rain, so you will just have to do your best to imagine it.
