This is a collection of stories that happen in my life. Enjoy life and make the most of every moment.
Today we headed over to Fall Creek Falls to check out progress on the Upper Loop trail. We started at the bridge on 284 at Cane Creek. There is still some trees down on this section. They have done some work on the backcountry campground including new outhouses which needed to be done. We stopped at the missing swinging bridge over Cane Creek where they are working on putting a new one in. Slow progress, but it is progress.
Lora and I did some exploring today. Back in October while hiking the Paw paw trail we came across a guy working on clearing trees. He told us that they were clearing the Upper and Lower loop trails and hoped to have it open by December.
We found the new trailhead for the Lower loop trail across from the old school house. It is blazed but not signed. It goes to the Paw paw trail and is signed to head North where it is signed again, but a closed sign is still there. Lots of trees down in that area. Going back to the School house we found a red blazed trail out back and took it. It connects to the old Upper Loop trail and it is cleared. We hiked it to the Rockhouse Creek where the bridge is out. It is laying just down stream. We are assuming that the trail is most likely cleared all the way through, but we will have do some more investigating.
