Friday 21st - Arrive and set up tents.  Get in a short 7 miles ride from Mulberry Gap to Emery Falls Trailhead.

Sherry gets expert help with a brake adjustment.

 

 

We walk the first short section of the trail.   We make a note that we should come back someday and do the entire trail.
At the time we did not know someday would be 2 days later!!

 

 

One last look at the map after a quick look at the trail.  

 

 

 

 

 

Friday night Jeff lights his "Yule Log" which burns extremely well for many hours and forms some interesting shapes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have almost a full moon on Friday night.

 

 

Saturday 22nd

Ride the HILLY gravels roads.   Have a sit down meal at "The Barn" at Mulberry Gap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

After the loop ride we try our hands at the "Skill Corse". 

 

 

 

We try and figure out how to inflate the "Couch Pouch"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have a traditional Campfire after a meal at "The Barn":



 

 

Sunday 23rd

Hike the Emory Creek Trail for 3.6 miles out and 3.6 miles back.  Several stream crossings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seems my camera will NOT focus durring stream crossings!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hiked with Pattie and Cliff who we met at the campground and on the road the day before. 

 

 

 

 

 

The orange ties are to help you see where to go when crossing the creek.  
This was very helpful especially when the trail on the far side was slightly up or down the creek. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is one of the waterfalls.
The photo does not do the scale justice.
