Yesterday, we went to the forest which it had been awhile since we had spent the day there. While we were driving up the mountain, a doe and her fawn ran out into the road and stood there for a minute before running into the woods. They were so cute .....I just don't understand how anyone could shoot them. I know, I know...there would be a zillion deers in the forest if they didn't but I'm just glad it's not me that does the shooting. Of course we found some wild flowers beside the road for the vase in the truck. The hike to the Indian shelter wasn't far at all...only about 1/2 mile BUT....it wasn't an easy hike. We had to go down a water fall (good thing it's summer and there wasn't any water going down it...it was hard enough as it was). It was all worth it because just around the corner was this awesome canyon with a cave. It was used as a permanent home and a migration camp by native Americans for thousands of years. There were carved symbols in the rocks and to this day they use it as a ceremonial place. While having our picnic lunch, I thought of how many beautiful places Chuck and I have had lunch in the forest. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful State. We saw a few " Fall leaves" turning already. As we were hiking back up the waterfall, I was wishing Shell was there behind me to push my " butt" up the rocks....lol. ...but I made it. We headed for home, after marking off another place in our " Alabama Canyons" book that we had found in the forest.
