It's right here. I'm walking through the jungle, and I can see a live deer right there. It actually stopped when we were walking down the path. Pretty cool. I just waited for a bear to come out and get us, but because the deer was there, I'm not going to worry about it. Then I had to cross over the Little Creek right there, and it was pretty easy to do. I wasn't in that much shape, but I made it all the way up. It was a little dangerous.
I was ready for those bears; I was looking for them. I kept on walking for about 3 miles. I was getting tired by then, but I was still good. I kept walking up there, slipping a bit because it was drizzling. I was trying to catch up with the people in front of me. So yeah, it was a great time, a great experience. I think we should do it again. Walking is kind of hard and easy, but the trail is pretty good. You just have to be in good physical condition. I didn't have that much, but I was just worried about my sugar levels going up or down, or getting hungry out there in the middle of nowhere. Something happening and your phone doesn't work. But everything was good.
So we finally made it to the waterfall. We walked about 4 miles just to get close to that waterfall, which I thought was going to be bigger, like the ones in Yosemite. But it was still good. So I decided to look at it and look around, enjoy the moment. Who knows when I'm going to do it again? I told my kids because it's going to be a lot harder to see these waterfalls up in Tennessee. The place was called Smoky Mountains; the mountains did look like they were smoking since all the fog was covering them. It's a nice place to go and visit if you guys ever have a chance to go hiking. It's a great place to be; you just have to be careful. It was really slippery. I was a little bit scared of any bears that would come out. I hope you guys enjoyed it. This is me telling you guys what to do in life and thriving.
Then, when we went back down, we decided to take the road because the trail was too long. We took a few breaks on the way because I was getting tired, and it stopped raining. I got a little bit wet. It took us like three and a half hours just to get there, and one and a half hours to get back on the road, which was easier.
