Mar 4, 2012 - A Windy Day at Hanging Rock

Yesterday, Sandy and I headed up to Hanging Rock State Park with the Raleigh hiking group for two more hikes in the 100 Classic Hikes series (#38 and #39). We parked at the visitor center and split into two groups with Brian leading the faster group and I led the slower group. This was fine with me, since I was carrying a backpack, which slows me down, especially on the steep climbs up to the mountains. Our group went to Hanging Rock first.

Sunday morning we hiked to the waterfalls. First, we hiked the Indian Creek Trail to Hidden Falls and Window Falls. Then back to the visitor center to hike to Upper Cascade Falls.

We stopped at the University of North Carolina in Asheville to update our journal. However, because of computer restrictions, we can not upload pictures :-( It has rained all day, ruining our plans for a scenic drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. So, we're just going use the freeways to hurry towards Virginia Beach -- we liked it so much the first time, we're going back. After that, we'll probably want to see the wild ponies again at one of our other favorite places (Assateague National Seashore in MD). More photos online.

Jan 12, 2001 - 1985 September 14 - Hanging Rock State Park with Tate Family

Today I went with Allen and Bonnie Tate and their two little girls to Hanging Rock State Park. Allen is an avid photographer as well as an outdoorsman. Bonnie also likes the outdoors and she always brings along good food for a picnic. I really enjoy going out with them. The mountains are pretty at this time of year, of course.
