Laurel Falls
Laurel Falls trail was only about 15 minutes from our camp. The trail itself was not too steep or difficult, and the temperature and humidity weren't bad. I am not used to doing very much activity in my daily life now, and keeping in mind that I am in my mid 50's, plus being quite heavy, this 1.25 mile hike was about the limit of what I can do. Although, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Both sides of the mountain road, in either direction from this trail, were very congested with tourist parking. And we must have seen at least a couple of thousand people along the trail, including many people visiting the United States from other countries.
Hiking at White Oak Lake.
On our most recently camping trip, we went to White Oak Lake State Park, which is only about 25 minutes from where we live. This is a wonderful and beautiful area, well known for it's fishing and hunting.
One of the most popular activities at the campground is to go hiking. They have three trails to choose from. We took the shortest trail, 'Beech Ridge'.
We saw some incredible fall foliage and views. And the weather was perfect, starting a little cool in the morning, but quickly warming by noon.
Bike ride.
It was a very nice day in Camden, so I took my bike out for a ride. Perfect temperature, especially for the second week of November, and the beginning of autumn. We have a lovely trail very near my home for riding, walking, or jogging. It used to be for trains, but after the line was unused for a long time, they took up the tracks, and put down asphalt.
This area is a field behind our house, next to a church. You can see the three crosses representing Jesus Christ crucifixion.
Such beautiful fall colors.
Arlie Moore trail and geocache.
We went camping again, this time to Arlie Moore, another Army Corps of Engineer site at Degray Lake.
They have a wonderful hiking trail. While on the trail, we spotted this old pickup truck on the ridge, and had to investigate.
Inside the truck, we found a geocache.
A coral mushroom.
The water was too cold for me.
We were able to park next to our campsite.
