WHISTLE CODE AND HIGH FOUR

We could not stay home on such a wonderful Easter Sunday, even though we had company coming around 5:30! One of our favorite questions is: Do you want to do a quick letterbox? Usually neither one of us has to ask twice - and it's out the door we go. Scott and I are very familiar with the Link trails sprinkled all around our area BUT had not been on this trail where the letterboxes were planted and had a wonderful time exploring new territory!! And so close to home!
It is part of the old railroad bed that ran all through the hills of Madison county in the 1800's. Still able to see lots of signs of the tracks, rails, spikes etc. laying all over the ground. It is still early spring so everything in the photos look pretty blah right now. There is a tiny tint of green in there if you look hard enough though. The above photo is of the trail heading north and this photo is of the trail heading south.
We missed the High Four box on our way south, but we were rewarded for our extra walking with this spectacular view of the countryside and this HUGE gorge!!! Not just a ditch or a drop off but a gorge! It was deep and it was awesome! I bet in the fall it was just alive with colors. We made a point of saying that we will come back in the fall to check out the colors. The boxes must have just been planted because we were the first!
Happy Easter to all!
