BANKHEAD!! Oh what a fun place. Acres and acres of national forest with not a soul around other than possums, armadillos, squirrels, and SMELLS. Alpha and Beta took me hiking to Capsey Creek Falls today. There's no established trail; it's one of those "park here, hike West until you hit the stream, then follow it down to the falls" kinda places. Alpha wanted to try a shortcut, which ended up not being shorter on the way in, but the way out was much much shorter. There was a ginormous tree that had fallen across the route, Alpha and Beta climbed over, but it was too high for me. They wouldn't even help me! They said I had to do it on my own.. And I did!! I SOARED over the tree. It was amazing. Like I was flying. When we got to the gorge at Capsey Falls, there were giant ICE SWORDS hanging from the bluffs. Some were over 6 feet tall! Getting down in to the gorge was quite the adventure. It involved Beta handing me down to Alpha, which I did NOT enjoy. But we finally made it down and MAN it was worth it. Here's a few pictures.
WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!
