Frozen Springs

Brrrrr! Y'all know it's Cold! May be why your inside looking at the computer. My sister "L.A.", and I ventured into the gorge which holds Hidden Springs today, and were treated to the scenes partially shown in this picture. Our arrival was just in time for lunch with Hector, Suzie, and Jan, a "Woofer" who is currently helping on the farm. She has a wealth of experience in the woods and I hope she'll contribute some of her knowledge with us either on 'wemaybeback' or joining us on a walk. I may have the name wrong but she knows who she is. And if your reading this...Welcome! Our friend Sydney had just arrived and was getting out of her truck as "L.A." and I were beginning our walk to the falls. The process for protecting this immediate area of the gorge is underway. Peace.

Hidden Springs (Thurs. 12/18)

Hector's place is benefiting from the abundant rainfalls along the Cumberland Plateau and the surrounding regions over the last month or so. I learned how to shell corn during my short visit, as a "Woofer", Ian, and I worked a sheller/grinder and shelled several bags of dried corn. Know anyone w/ strong farming experience who wants a low stress position?
The efforts on protecting this area are still in the process. These pictures are of some of the same spots shown in blog entries from July-September, just type "Hidden Springs", in the box located in the upper left of the screen on this site and see the similarities and changes. Damn I like this place! The 1.5 mls. I probably hiked were easy to difficult and challenging. It had rained all night and through the morning and so the steep hillsides were very loose (made several "great saves") as I climbed to the top of the pinnacle and then descended the other side to view other cascading falls.
