Well, it has been on my "bucket list" ever since I saw the movie "Bucket List" to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Today was the day to cross that one off.
A very blurry pic of me but it proves I was there.
When you are hiking the trail you're supposed to wear hiking boots. Ballet slippers are not the best footwear....especially if you are scared of snakes.
You will see some very tall trees
and some that reach clear to the sky
Rhododendron in bloom
You can even use slippery rocks to cross creeks
and gaze at the beautiful bushes
You may see trees broken by windstorms
and even a sign or two
OOps -- same sign
then there are nice wide straight paths
Always on the lookout for a snake --- it's just a root
Then there are rocks
and ferns in trees
and wooden stairs
and a creek
Rock walls
and fishing holes
Scary bridges to cross
Small paces to walk -- Do snakes really hide in rocks?
Steps that go up
and up and up
Oh NO!!!! It's a SIX FOOT SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!(well maybe its just a centipede)
Steps that go down down down
Footlogs to cross
and more footlogs to cross
And yet another
and miles and miles to go before I reach Mount Katahdin
Thanks for taking a trip with me on the Appalachian Trail.
That's it for today.
