wandering in the woods (by hot dog)

hi. my name is hot dog. my brothers bodhi and f stop have taken off on yet another cruise, and while they're gone, i'm in charge of maintaining bodhi's blog.

it looks like it has been awhile since bodhi last bothered to post, and judging from the pile of notes and photos he left all over duff's desk, i'm thinking someone around here needs to get caught up. (since i've got a week or two before my next hike, perhaps i'll find time to go back and blog about some of our fairly recent adventures- be sure to check back again soon, ok?)

at any rate, duff realized that it had been awhile since i last had the opportunity to get out and stretch my legs, so she invited me along on yesterday's hike to raven cliff falls, near the north/south carolina border. the caesar's head state park visitor's center is located about a mile from the raven cliff trailhead, and the photo above is yours truly with caesar himself.

we took the shorter, 4.4 mile (round trip) hike to the scenic overlook, which is across the valley from the 420 foot waterfall. duff says that maybe next time we can go on the slightly longer hike to the bridge that crosses the waterfall and back, but this was a great introduction to the area.


here i am at the scenic overlook. by this point in the hike, i was dying for some beef jerky.
