Hallowed Ground

Looks like fun.

Hallowed ground is right and it looks like y'all made the most of some tough conditions. Looking at your photo of the footlog, the creek is down a foot since early June.

It's low and crystal clear.

It was pretty low, I think.

Yeah, lot of difference. I was running about a 14' leader to catch fish.

Well, @NCHillbilly

Y'all done saved me another fishin' trip...Thanks for takin' me along again!

Thanks so much for taking us along on this trip. Back in my younger days, I would have loved trekking along with you. Now it’s great to go along in your story and photos. You did a great job capturing the beauty of area.

I’ve backpacked the northern woods of the Great Lakes area, and the Rockies. Never did the Appalachians. I can see I really missed something.

If this is where I think it is, it is a pretty nice hike in if you're not on a timeline and/or carrying a load. Never been in the summer though.

I'll have you know, I wasn't having a myocardial infarction, I was simply studying tracks in the dirt.

That would be my story too and I'd stick with it.

Thanks for letting me tag along, only way I can do it anymore.

 

[Jim Thompson]

Appreciate the ride and the pics. You boys did good

I don't know how many log foot bridges there are in the Smokies but I do believe I've been across that one back in the 70's or early 80's.

 

[antharper]

Wow what a trip and story ! Makes it that much better sharing it with a good friend !

I’ve been across 2 or 3 that look similar, but this stone pilings combined with a couple hints dropped by northgeorgiasportsman make it obvious.

Very nice. Kephart would be proud.
