I walk Tucson around 6 a.m. and we spot a deer keeping an eye on Tucson
After breakfast we head out for the 3 mile loop hike to Lewis Falls
Portions of the trail follow the Appalachian trail
The boys stop to catch a view
It is rocky trail and the trees are bare
But is makes it easier to spot a bear
Tucson leads the way
and before you know it we are there
A good view of the valley below but you can't see the Falls from here
Gary and Tucson take a break while I walk to the other side
I can see them having a good time without me.
and the view from the other side
Before heading back we let Tucson take a drink/dip
Wonder what's behind the door
A break near the end
Tucson takes in the view
Done - time for a nap in the Hammock our boss gave Gary in Alaska
Revived and time to bike up to the visitor's center and see the museum
Behind the Visitor's center is the Big Meadow - the crop circles are actually some type of grass that grows that way
Herbert Hoover built his Summer White house in Shenandoah
The creation of the Park forced resettlement of 465 families between 1935-1937 Herbert Hoover's Secretary of
the Interior, long had expressed the Washington policy
that park residents would not be disturbed unless they were in the
direct path of development. Then on February 1, 1934, the new Director
of the Service stated that all inhabitants of the park
lands whether landowners, tenants, or squatters, would have to leave.
On the way home we come across a small herd of deer
A great day and a better dinner tonight
