Martin Creek Falls and Pinnacle Knob via the Bartram Trail near Clayton, GA

The trail was in good overall condition today, although it wasn't a pleasant day to hike being warm and very humid. Everyone hiked to Martin Creek Falls with three hikers proceeding on to Pinnacle Knob for a beautiful view to the west. The bridge over Becky Branch below the falls is still out and required a wet crossing for some. We were surprised by the widespread blooming of Rhododendron throughout the area. Not a lot of wildflowers otherwise. We did encounter a few critters . . . a large spider, a spotted newt and a couple of dogs from an encampment (not campsite) along Martin Creek. Vic became intimately familiar with one of the pooches who bit him with the owner later trying to get Inna to take it home . . really! Good job everyone!.
