Waterfalls and What Nots

We spent our last day at Oconee doing a waterfall hike. We went to Station Cove Falls. It was an easy hike (30 min in, 30 min out). It was sloggy, though, because we had constant rain Saturday; but it was very pleasant. Apparently there was a ringed water snake

But G assured us that it was probably sick, as it was late in the season and most snakes hibernate this time of year. It's very rare to see them. Good thing I was far away and the snake was already on its way. Bye bye, snakey!

Further up (about 1/4 mile) was the falls, and boy, are they gorgeous! Shame the blog doesn't let you do video, but it's loud and wonderful. See?

And the sun came out at the right time! There was another fella there who was taking pictures with his new camera, a Nikon 220 or something like that (Mom, I think you can kinda figure it out). Anyway, it was a good hike and a beautiful waterfall. 

On the way back, I found some interesting signs to share with you. 

These are little nuggets of yummy, and they are popular around here. They have to be green when you put them in the pot, boil them all day long on simmer with some salt; but boy, oh boy, are they delicious! The only problem G and I have is how to pronounce it:  I say "Boyled" peanuts. G says "Bald" peanuts. Must be the accent, lol!

 This one stumped me because there are no shamrocks, and there is no lane!

 She hollered REALLY loud!!

No yellow bricks, and no road. Go figure! I was expecting the dwarfs and the Good Witch, 
but I got nothin'!

Want to take a stroll down this one??

You keep coming back to this one

This is where learning makes you "feel good"

 
I think there's a Legend associated with this one 

 And this is no joke; gas is really this cheap here.

Hope you enjoyed our last days with us here at Oconee and Walhalla. Ya'll come back! 😉
