RV Adventures – High Shoals Falls Georgia

Posted on Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I am pleased to introduce our friends Anne-Marie and Al who have been traveling the USA via RV. These free-birds are willing to share the adventure here with us at Remarkable Wrinklies. So, why here? Because anyone who is willing to retire to an RV with their spouse and two cats… well those are some dang Remarkable Wrinklies! Please take some time to enjoy their story.

Have I mentioned that it has rained a lot here in No. Georgia?? I believe 23 days out of the 30 days we’ve been here.

Yesterday morning was cloudy and overcast…but no rain. Optimistic, we headed for High Shoals Waterfall–a short 1.5 mile hike in. The sun was actually shining when we arrived at the trailhead. It was a pleasant walk–getting darker, but we were descending rapidly and the canopy overhead was covering us. It began to rain…really pour just before we reached the falls.

We took a cursory look, not daring to expose the camera to the deluge, and slogged back up the trail to the truck. Expecting nothing less of him,Al had various rain gear in the truck…and drenched and dripping, we exchanged our soaked clothes for the only dry stuff we had. I chose the yellow, ankle length, drover style raincoat with detachable hood and stylish snaps. Al selected an ensemble of forest green rainpants with matching jacket–very chic!
