We wanted to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary with a hike. Looking at the weather we decided to play it a bit safe, so we headed up Ammo, over to Franklin on the Crawford Path and then down Edmand’s. The weather held longer than expected and we had a terrific day. There were spots along the way that had dried out in the sun, but mostly everything was wet and slippery, so we took our time…so much mud and water out there. It is a wonderful year for seeing waterfalls - really gorgeous on Ammo. |
