Chim Chiminey ... Chimney Rock

What trip doesn't start with either Mike or Mark letting go one?

At trail head: Grace, Mike and Cyn

Reflections: Taking our picture ourselves

Guess which sign Mark noticed?

Yup, you got it. Moonshiner's cave!

Stairs, stairs and more stairs

Milestone #1: Chimney Rock. Did I just say "milestone"? Argh, what a geek!

More #$%^&!! stairs: Grace, Cyn, Mark

Mark cheated - he took the subway

Mike tried to crawl through a shortcut. Almost got stuck.

Say cheese!
