| We start with 10. At least we're not 13, with Bob -- that has always led to disaster. We are hoping for our first, non-disaster hike in Fall Creek. |
We vote on who is most likely to get lost, lead us astray, fall in the water, or otherwise cause an adventure on this trip. |
 |
 |
| No adventures so far - but we're looking out for the possibility that some tree will fall on us. |
We find some hikers stranded in a lime kiln. But that's their adventure, not ours, so we leave them there. |
 |
 |
| This would be a great place for an ambush. But we pass through without being attacked. |
We make it to the old barrel mill without incident. |
 |
 |
| Some people want to tempt fate by playing with the tools that are on display here. |
Others will tempt fate by eating tuna salad that has been carried in a warm knapsack for hours. |
 |
 |
| There are plenty of places to fall off the trail into the creek. |
Plenty of places to "do a Dave" and bang your head on a fallen tree. |
 |
 |
| Ted is so relieved to have not banged his head. |
Mike tempts fate by scrambling across a wet, slippery, rotting log. |
 |
 |
| It looks like we may make it out of the woods without an incident, for once. Peggy thanks the water spirits. |
Ted cancels out the thanks by spitting in the water and haranguing the sprits. |
 |
|
| Now all we need to do to return safely is to make it past the grove of poisonous, jumping spiders. |
