Wouldn't Have Guessed It

Hiking! Lee and I finally have a hobby, that we enjoy equally, and it's active! Most of the stuff we do together requires sitting. We talked about it all summer. Researched local trails online. Even took drives to a couple of state parks to check things out, but a couple of weekends ago, we hiked. It was so much fun! With everything so beautiful right now, I just can't get enough. I want to go Sunday....I want to go Thanksgiving, and I want to do an overnight trip, too! We are so lucky to live in Alabama. We have 19 state parks that boast a combined total of 192 hiking trails. The other day Lee came across The Walls of Jericho, located in Jackson County. It is referred to as The Grand Canyon of the south. You hike over 2 miles to the canyon, down hill. That means the hike back is just as long and up hill. There is a primitive campground to stay at, which sounds like a good idea, since the round trip takes all day. As usual, I can't wait until we can find time to go there!
