We had to explore Haw Creek Falls
Our group for the day
Time to gather up
Not bad hiking on the OHT!
This was our first creek crossing....many, many,
many more to come!
Dave was about to lose his
hiking stick in the rock
We used to sit on this tree...
it was just about gone!
Julie
Hiking the OHT
Mile Marker 103
Our first "official" Gee Creek crossing
Takagnome and Brittany

Takagnome taking his turn
on the rock chairs
Julie once again (her tongue was like this
most of the day)
Kip
Kathy and Theo
Amelia
Mile Marker 102
I think we are hiking backwards?
Look what we discovered!
A cave cricket
Everyone wanted to see our discovery
An old homeplace chimney
Tim and Kip
Time for lunch at the old homeplace
A shelter near the old homeplace
Time to do some serious creek crossings
....and hiking down an old road
Everywhere there was a water hole...
there was Julie in the middle of it.
That went for Theo also!!!
Back at the old campsite
This was our eighth time to cross Gee Creek
Kip was a little hesitant to shake
Brittanys hand ......
Dave
Trustin
Brittany
Amelia
Yes, more crossings!
Trustin had the right idea about crossing!
We finally make it to Hwy. 123
Heading back to Haw Creek Campground
Even Takagnome liked this part of the trail !
Kathy had the right kind of shoes on today.
Kip was one tired dog!
Theo never stopped one time....
wore us all out!
It was a good day......just a good day, indeed!
This is how you end a good hike!
