Hello NC!

Amazingly, it is starting to feel like Fall here in the Upstate.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the lovely weather is here to stay.  Since it was a gorgeous day, we decided to go hiking with Cat and her boys.  But first, we had to wrestle 3 car seats in the back seat.

We headed north on 276 and crossed the stateline to DuPont State Park.  It was Lucy's first time outside of SC and we had an ambitious hike planned.  From Corn Mill Shoals, we turned onto Big Rock Trail, climbed to the top of Cedar Mountain, down to Little River and back up.

Ronan hiked most of it with his spiffy new backpack 

First signs of Fall...

We enjoyed a yummy snack of snap peas, cheddar, goldfish crackers, bunny grahams and Hawaiian sweet bread.

Ronan found a geocache box while exploring!  It had a number of neat items inside, including a journal.

The hike was very steep but it was a walk in the park for Supermom Cat!  :o)
