Bear Sighting! And The Curse


 
As we were traveling in Georgia, we saw a small bear (bigger than a cub but not full grown) crossing the road in front of us.  Luckily John was able to slow down so we didn’t hit him as he crossed safely to the other side.  In the excitement, I forgot to get the camera, so no picture.  Instead, I have a picture of five turkeys at our campsite (no, it’s not the same).

We decided the trip has been cursed.  It started with the air conditioner breaking which we had repaired in Tennessee.  Then the TV blew so we got a new flat screen.  Later, the camera failed. the Kindle screen went bad, and the grill just wore out.  All were replaced.  The windshield on the car was hit.  We’ve been watching the crack grow and plan to get it replaced when we get home.  Now, John’s crown fell out.  I called to get an appointment at the dentist at home.  Oh, and I washed John’s phone!  We’ll be glad when the curse is over!

 
Today’s hike was Amicalola Falls.  While the gorge yesterday was difficult, this was worse.  This hike included 600 steps.  However, the falls were amazing.  It’s said to be the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi.  The park is also known for being the start of the Appalachian Trail starting at Springer Mountain.
