Some are still there waving

To those already gone

That sank beneath the water

Or that rest among the stones

It’s the wind that will determine when their journey ends

After leaving the Visitor’s Center we visited the Sugarlands Valley Trail. It is a flat circular trail that has a paved walk.

Years ago there was a farm here, but a couple of chimneys

and a stone wall are all that remain.

You don’t have to stay on the paved walk. You can take a right

and enjoy the creek that borders the old farm site.

Along the path there are benches where you can stop and put your feet up.

Hudson got a leaf that reminded him of something to write with,

and he left pretend graffiti all along

the last half of the trail.

Beside the Cataract Falls trail there was a hollow tree.

Hudson disappeared inside.

The tree also had a peep hole and Denton looked in.

Then, they both looked out. Guess which eyes belong to which kid.

The trail led to a place called Cataract Falls. This is our journey:
