Sweetwater Creek State Park is about 30 minutes from my home, not too far. It is beautiful! They have several well marked trails.

The first trail, the most popular runs along the creek. I am used to walking trails alone or with Bradley Cooper, this trail is really popular. It runs up to the ruins of an old mill.

This was burned down during the civil war.

I decided to take another, less popular trail for some more of the hike.

It was so peaceful and spiritual…

Gorgeous ferns everywhere. I cannot wait to go back and see more.

Then this little guy wished me well in my travels.
