Bankhead Hike
















Sunday, Paul and I took Tooter on an adventure in Bankhead Forest. We stopped along the road and Paul got out with Tooter to climb up a steep little hill. It was slippery so they had to put forth a little effort to get to the top. Once they got up they discovered a small cave. Tooter didn't want to go in it though. Then we found a spring and a pipe that ran the water out. Of course Tooter had to take a swig of that but he said it just tasted like "regular" water. We saw a deer standing by the road. No snakes, thank goodness. I guess they are finding a winter hole by now.
Later we stopped at Pine Torch Church. It was built in the 1800's. Cool building with old wooden pews and floor. I can't imagine church goers sitting on those for long these days. There was a very old graveyard there also. Lots of infant graves and tombstones so old the writing was gone. There were lots of Confederate soilder graves too. Tooter loves old graveyards and buildings. Here are some pictures of the day.
