We
left North Carolina for Georgia. We’ve
been enjoying the autumn colors. As
we’re driving through the Smoky Mountains we got to see clouds in the mountains
and sometimes drive through the clouds.
Is it considered to be raining if you are inside the cloud?
Our
first stop is Tallulah Gorge State Park.
It’s a very deep gorge (1000 feet in places) with several waterfalls
below. The hike around the gorge isn’t
strenuous, but the hike down 356 steps and back up 310 steps certainly is. It’s the equivalent of approximately 20
stories.
One of the interesting things here were towers left over when 65-year old Karl Wallenda (of the Great Wallenda family) crossed the gorge on a high wire back in 1970. He walked 1000’ across the gorge to celebrate his 50th anniversary. He died eight years later crossing a high wire in Puerto Rico.
