If You Can't Beat It, Join It; or Water Water Everywhere!

Day 6

More rain today and I needed a studio break, so I decided to head to one of the outlying areas of the park (Greenbriar), and check it out. I figure, when it is wet, go to the wet parts! It was a great decision, enough people to not feel totally out of touch, but far from the madding crowds. I drove to the end of the road, and planned on hiking a bit into the area, but after seeing the signage about bears, decided that might not be a good idea on my own. In bear country it is imperative that you are with someone you can outrun! So I just drove abut 5 MPH and got out a lot!

Sat and watched some kayakers for a while... again, when it is raining, get wet I guess! I had gotten there early, and it was just misting at that time, and it was raining harder and I was getting hungry, so headed fr the exit. I met the ranger who was putting out "Road Closed" signs and turning away more kayakers. I guess the forecast wasn't looking good, so they decided to shut down for the rest of the day. Glad I got in and out when I did.

On the way back into town I stopped at the grocery store (yes "the" not "an") to return my Red Box movie and  ran into the Park volunteer coordinator, who was returning hers also... small town when you can run into the one person you know!

Here are the pics I took today... hope you enjoy them.

What beauty is all around you. And you are so good at capturing it to share with us. Thank you for allowing us to see and almost feel the moss on the tree. I love your take on out running the bear!
