Debbie, was to late in the day to stay long.

Matt, it is beautiful in the forest this time of the year.

Our area has been in a drought for a long period of time. It is still in the 80's during the day.  The leaves are drying up and falling off the trees with little or no color this year.

Diane - I had hoped to get out of the house and see what was available in autumn sights this weekend.  Unfortunately, we have rainy weather today and tomorrow.  So, I'm finally going to hunker down with a couple of books I've neglected reading!  You'r photos of the hiking trail are neat!

Hello Myrl,    You could get lost and roam around for days in Talladega National Forest.    If you do nothing more than ride around it gives you a sense of freedom to help clear the mind.    The areas that you can camp at are beautiful...  

 I am glad someone is getting rain.  Enjoy your book and thanks I am glad you enjoyed them.

The trail looks inviting, are there any wild animals along the way?

Hey Dee, It was inviting to walk along on a beautiful day.  The wildlife here is about what it is everywhere else. Deer, turkey that sort of thing.  What terrifies me are the snakes.

Thanks for stopping by Steve.   I had no idea they were that long either, that is why I took a picture of the sign. Wonder how long it would take to hike and how many people have done it?

Karen, in the parking area were four cars.  On a trail that is 130 miles long, you couldn't help but wonder how long they had been there?
