Rip Rap Trail

I spent the weekend in Florida, going through my Dad's old papers and financial records. The old fella had financial records going back to the 1940's... no joke, I've got mortgage documents and deeds and tax records from 1946. Anyway, I'm now pretty much done going through the old finances. G'ma is moved into her new apartment, and aside from needing someone to talk to every now and then, is doing fine. Traffic coming back from Florida is horrendous. Took 14 hours to drive it Sunday. Long Day. Bopnopper is home to the Valley for Spring Break. We went hiking up RipRap Trail this afternoon. The trail follows Cold-Springs Hollow, which is a lovely gorge with a crystal-clear, cold, rushing stream.
Nice waterfalls, too.

We went a couple of miles up the trail, then came back down, taking a nice, leisurly 4-hour hike round-trip. Afterwards, we went to PizzaHut in W'boro for dinner. Overall, a very nice relaxing day.
