For MLK day we took a little trip down to Chimney Rock. It is a new state park in the last couple of years. For any of you who have seen The Last of the Mohicans, this is where the waterfall scene at the end was shot. So, we were pretty excited to go check it out since the weather warmed up a bit and Kris had the day off. Kris had done his homework of checking their website to make sure the trails were open etc. Well, after a 2.5 hrs drive there the lady at the ticket booth says that the waterfall trail and some other trail are closed for the day because of falling ice. So much for a warmer day. Of course we weren't going to turn back so we enjoyed the stuff we could do and we will just have to go back sometime in the spring or summer.

Here we are in the subway. I read a sign that said something about these rocks not falling in this position but I didn't finish reading it.

I wanted to see what it was like to be a turtle. Good thing they don't have to crawl into their shells.
