Arriving at our parking spot

Ready to tackle Graves Creek

Our first sighting of Graves Creek

....and our first time to cross

Takagnome had never seen ice before

It was cold on his feet!

We never expected to see so much ice!

There it is in the distances

But first, we have to find a way to get there

Ah, we spot our famous tree...

Bill trys it out

...and of course others have to follow

Patti, Tammie and Cindy
take their turn.
