💚💛💜Ready for an Autumn Hike???😍😊😉
Dear Blog Friends, Welcome to OCTOBER. Hope this month is GOOD for you and your loved ones!!! I love Octobers here when the temperatures are cool and crisp and the big trees love to show off their colors...
My Post today is a hike we took in October of 2006 (long before I was blogging and long before our good cameras). However, we really enjoyed this hike --so I thought I would share it with you today.
We took a drive west of us to a small town named Beersheba Springs, Tennessee... This community is in the South Cumberland Recreation Area in an area called the SAVAGE GULF.... We visited the Laurel Gulf Overlook and Bluff area, then hiked down into the gorge through the "STONE DOOR"; Finally --we hiked back up and then visited Laurel Falls before heading home enjoying a gorgeous sunset on the way!!!!
My pictures tell a story of our hike--so please hold your mouse over each picture for an explanation.... (Don't click--just hold the mouse over the picture.)
Don't you love the sunset we saw on the way home? Wow!!! What a great day we had!
Hope you have a good October... George and I hope to go on a "Leaf Peeking" trip sometime this month --so hopefully, I'll have some good pictures of the pretty colored leaves to share.
Have a great month --and don't forget to get outside and get some exercise!!!
Hugs,
What a beautiful area. That's some sunset at the end.
ReplyDeleteWe've been enjoying fall here in our new state by walking, hiking and driving. It won't be long though before winter sets in so we are gathering the warm days to remember come cold days.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing these pictures again. It's been a long time since we've been to Stone Door. Perhaps we should go again.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful way to enjoy a day. Coolness accentuated by the crunch of leaves under your feet.
ReplyDeleteThat sunset was stunning.
I love the cooler Oct temps as well. Fall is my favorite season after a long hoy summer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great hike. Like the picture where you are enjoying the sunshine on your face. I know exactly how that feels. :)
ReplyDeleteSpectacular sunset.
It was nice to see you in 2006 - beautiful as always.
ReplyDeleteThe last picture is my favorite! The stone door is claustrophobic for sure. I love your hair and your sweater!
ReplyDeleteOctober! How did that happen?
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
Betsy, Great photos! We love October too but we won't be doing much exploring this year. I should be recovered and sort of back to normal from my knee replacement by Thanksgiving. Stay Safe and Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. Sometimes it is good to go back to the place of our memories and revisit those areas. I love fall, but I must admit that September ,October and November are always filled with painful memories and even a little depression at times. Not to worry, I will be fine once we reach the end of November .
ReplyDeleteThat was a beautiful hike. Thank you for sharing it with us. That sunset photo is a stunner! We've had the prettiest sunsets lately. Blue skies all day and pink sunsets at night. Unfortunately, I think some of the beautiful colors are caused by smoke particals in the atmostphere.
ReplyDeleteTake care my friend,
Blessings,
Betsy
You are braver than I am. I'm not sure if I could sit that close to the side like you did. If I have done something like that I don't remember it! lol
ReplyDeleteWelcome to October, Betsy. I can’t believe it’s fall already. I’ve had my brain tied to my computer doing genealogy work for the last 3 months. It’s finally off to the printers so I can take a breather until the next project and enjoy some blogs. WOW! Your header photo is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteYou find fabulous places to hike. Lovely memories too.
