The trail parking lot at the Highway 28 Bridge. A nice group of 16 hikers today! Crossing the bridge over the West Fork Chattooga River. Early morning view from the bridge. The trail parallels the Chattooga River on this section. This section of the trail passes through old farm country - an old hay rake. An old abandoned hay baler Remains of an old farm house. Lots of autumn colors are begining to show. Fungi of the week! Trail sign at Adeline Ford. The Chattooga River at Adeline Ford. Lunchtime at Adeline Ford. The OFHC gang for today's hike.
