Tinker Creek--which also runs very close to our house
Each of the trails we've hiked have been entirely different from each other. This has surprised us, since three are connected sections of the Appalachian Trail. This was definitely our least favorite. The path, for the most part, was very wide, and while some parts were cushioned with pine needles, most of it, I thought, was uncomfortable to walk.
Holly wasn't feeling well, but we decided to press on towards the top. As we approached the tallest power lines, we could hear their buzz and stopped to eat just a short way below the top. We continued just a bit further and found this. It wasn't terrible, but it did obstruct an incredible view!
Although we'd hoped to catch a glimpse of Carvin's Cove on the other side of the mountain, we decided to turn back.
We saw pretty views of Daleville between the trees and could easily spot large landmarks, grocery stores, apartment buildings, and the high school (not in this picture though!).
We spotted the baseball field that is next to our soccer fields (that large brown area on the top left). Our street appears to be the first street on the left, and I can see the houses curving around--which means our house is hidden by the leaves. So cool to see everything from a distance and have a different perspective on how close everything really is!
Poor Holly was really not feeling well at all. She came home and slept for a few hours, and I even did too!
Trevor caught up with his friend, and dropped them off to play frisbee golf. Over at the same athletic fields with softball and soccer, a new course opened in May. It must be some great secret, because we'd never heard of it! Trevor and Jason were the only ones there and played until dark. Great to know it's there, and I'm so glad Trevor got to see Jason one last time before he heads off to school this week.
