 |
| A beautiful spot for our lunch sandwich.......not a sole in sight, in fact we were the only folk on the trail. What is it they say "mad dogs and Englishmen" !!! |
 |
| Another beautiful view from our quiet lunch spot |
 |
| Sunset Rock........ fabulous views and a great place to stand and reflect It has been really good to be back on a trail again and have a good walk enjoying the scenery Today stayed hot and sunny then thunder and lightening all evening and into the wee small hours, some rain overnight Just in case you were all wondering we haven't tried out our imitation log fire yet !!!!! |
Excellent photo's, you can really imagine what it must have been like for the Civil War soldiers!
ReplyDeleteYes, walking around after having had the Rangers talk it was all very poignant.
