When we began the moving process to GA back in 2021, we drove through the boondocks of SC to get to our new place in the world. I do mean BOONDOCKS. There is nothing - there’s train tracks and a countless pine trees. But I did have a trail to catch my eye and I said to myself, “one day I’m going to stop there and check it out.” It’s exactly halfway in between my house in GA, and my parent’s house in Iva, SC. Now that Elias is doing longer solo hiking I decided to finally check it out.
The entire trail is 9 miles with 3 trailheads all within 10 mins of each other. We started at the Tim Brown trailhead then drove down to the third trail head where the trestle bridge was so we may walk across it. (This bridge is what caught my eye first back in ‘21.) Of the total 9 miles, we did 5. Elias did 2.5 on his own. I carried him the other half. While the hike itself to me was lack luster for a girl who is used to big Mountain Views and roaring rivers and waterfalls- it was nice and perfect for little new hikers like Elias. They enjoyed it. And I enjoyed watching them. It was so fun to be out in the woods with my babies!
