We decided to go to Pine Mountain State Park (which is only a 15- or 20-minute drive from Frakes) and hike their Honeymoon Falls trail. It was beautiful on the way up to the falls--all green with laurel and rhododendron and HUGE hemlock trees.
The waterfall was small but beautiful. It seemed to be a nice, cool place to be during the summer.
You can see in this picture how GREEN it is on this trail. It's not so green everywhere. Some places are still feeling effects from last year's drought, but we've had a bunch of precipitation lately, so we're hopeful that we'll be seeing some green grass soon!
The walk back down the hill was nice, but not as impressive as the green on the way up. We'll definitely have to go back again once the leaves are back on the trees!
It was the perfect way to spend such a nice, warm afternoon, especially considering that we might get a couple of inches of snow again this weekend!

Eric and Sarah,
That's the most water I've ever seen coming down Honeymoon Falls. You picked a great time to see it. Great pics! Thanks for the frisbee today and the good DVD's.

So glad you had a good time on your hike and that the weather cooperated. Your pictures are excellent as usual - I love the angle of the tree shot - and the one of the two of you with the foliage is amazing. It looks like it was taken in the rain forest and not in Kentucky on the first day of March. Can't wait to come and visit.
Love you lots, mom r:)
