Almost Heaven

We hiked the most beautiful hike Friday. There are many trails here in the park. Some are long, some are short. Many can be connected together to make hikes of your choice length. There is one down by the golf course that looked interesting. Part of it follows along the Blackwater River. It is ¾ miles long and has self guided interpretive guide to go with it. I had to check it out for to see if it would be a good location for the letterbox I put together for this trip. It was perfect! You begin in what looks like a scene from a fairy tale. The forest floor is covered with ferns. You walk along and out into a small meadow. Then the trail turns and follows the river. The creek runs along the valley floor, so the mountains are in the distance. It was a spectacular site. We found an appropriate place to leave the box and the clue can be viewed here on Atlas Quest: http://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gBoxId=86725.
