 A word about Grace2463 viewsI heard a Preacher say Grace is something bestowed by God that one has not earned.

I understood this when I showed up early morning, before the tourist, at Multnomah Falls, Oregon. I surely did not earn this.

 Summers Almost Gone2461 viewsAn old song goes something like, Summers come and gone and Winters coming on....

This old pony has a few too many battles in his past and looked dejected with the chilly Fall winds blowing.

 Laurel Creek Falls *2440 viewsLocals refer to this falls as Trash Can Falls, not because of it being trashy but, at one time there was a public dumpster nearby.

With that said, the day I was there was following a downpour of rain so the creek was muddy.

 Steve2435 viewsSteve just became a crew member when he showed Bol"Dar an I how to get to Middle Flat Laurel Falls. He even took the time to make sure an Old Albatross reached the top of a difficult climb back up to the trail.

Next time we are passing through Asheville, NC and not having a near death experience with fatigue, we will stop by The Double Crown for refreshments.
