Lora and I headed over the the National Forest for a weekend backpack. We started at the Bald River trailhead on Bald River Road. It was warm and sunny and the river was mighty inviting. There were a few people on the trail and one other family actually camping. There are numerous campsites along this section.
We got to see lots of blooms again for a spring backpack. We hiked down to the falls and then backtracked a few campsites until we found the one we wanted. We were welcomed by a Timber Rattle Snake which we both walked by and then Lora walked by again before I saw him. He wasn't interested in us and we felt the same.
We had a beautiful evening around the campfire with stars and lightning bugs putting on a show. The next morning we headed back to the car. We drove to the McNabb Creek trail which we found out right quick has not been maintained for quite a while. So down the road we went to the Hemlock trail which was in much better shape for a short period. We ate lunch on this trail and then headed back.
