On Wednesday night we headed over to Forest Gully Farms where we stayed one night, in wonderful houses built in side hills. I don’t know much about The Hobbit, but I do know that the houses that we stayed in looked like Hobbit houses. There at Forest Gully Farms we met a very nice man who showed us around. We went to see some of there chickens, because we were told that we could hold them. After I had chased chickens around for awhile I caught a beautiful black one.
Right now, after Forest Gully Farms we are staying at a wonderful campsite where there are wonderful hiking trails. Cloudland Canyon State Park is wonderful! So far we have been hiking every day. On the first day we started with a small hike but then it got bigger. Before we started heading back, because I was already really tired, my mom saw another waterfall that she wanted to see. To get there, you needed to go down, and to go down, you needed to take the stairs. So we went down the, approximately five hundred stairs and, when we got to the bottom, uh, well there was not exactly a happy Miriam. I was grouchy Miriam, because we had to go back up all of the stairs to go back up to are campsite.
The very next day was the day of our big six mile, two hour hike. Really, to me it was just five parts:
Stairs, dirt, food, view, and ice cream. The ice cream part was all that I could think about at the time but that was because I was really tired and hungry. The view of the waterfall though, and walking over it, was awesome. I tried my best to count the stairs on the way up and down,so that on the way down I only counted stairs that went down and the same for the way up. On the way down, there were 534 stairs, and on the way up, there were 537 and the only small difference was three. When My mom looked on the map there were 600 stairs, but that was including more then I had counted. And when we got back, there was ice cream waiting.
And finally the next day we went on a lovely shorter hike with lots of lookout spots. When we came back we had sandwiches for lunch and that made us quite happy. I don’t think that we will be going for a hike tomorrow though, because we think it will rain. So all I can say for now is that The Great Szerminski Adventure I’d wonderful so far.

Hola familia Szerminski!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and it looks like a fun start to your adventure; I will have to take Lya to the Hobbit Holes one day...I think she would love that!
Nice to see that Rick is representing SJO loud and proud with his rowing jacket :)
As my dear uncle used to say, "Live life to the maximum!"
