North Chicamauga Creek Gorge



We had time for a short hike today so we headed off to the North Chick trailhead. Just as we came the crossing for the Blue Hole, Lora saw a black lab in the creek that she recognized, Bear, and then she spotted Ed Swanner across the creek. Sure was nice to see him and meet his young lab Belle, another pretty black lab. Sad to hear about Skinny dying, but she surely died a happy dog being out there on a trail with Ed.

The wildflowers were pretty, birds were singing, the blue sky was beautiful, the waterfalls were flowing. The wooden stairs were still in good shape. All the bluff walls and rock houses were just grand, still some graffiti (sad). The trail on top of the bluff is overgrown. After the fires, with the trees gone, weeds grow. We turned back to get out of the weeds.
