hiking the appalachian trail

one of the things i'd been wanting to do for years was hike up to the screw auger falls

and i finally got the chance during my birthday month
i was intrigued by the stream you get to cross to get there

i suggest wearing shoes when you cross though

there are so many waterfalls in maine
come to find out to get to the falls you get to hike part of the appalachian trail

hiking the whole trail is something people actually do though
it's over 2000 miles - starting in georgia and ending in maine
that's just crazy!

it's also crazy how slippery rocks can get after millions of year of water running over them
it's also crazy how scared one can get when they think they're about to go over a waterfall
when all they wanted was a picture of them at the top of the fall

in a place where it was over a mile to hike into
don't worry though, sean was there to get a photo to prove he didn't push me...

i really thought i was going over
every time i tried to move i slipped further
i finally found some moss that i crawled on my knees grabbing rocks that hadn't been polished smooth
my heart was beating so fast the rest of the day
it was a beautiful site to have a little picnic

but i don't suggest exploring too much
