This picture was taken at the top of the falls (this time I cheated and drove us to the top- the hike is far too strenuous for Sarah Wynn... and too strenuous for me to carry her on my back!). Just beyond the wooden rail is the 729 foot drop (the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi River). It is a beautiful overlook.
Ann Ferris spotted this snake (about 2 1/2 feet long) in the creek that feeds the falls, only about 15 feet from the drop. Obviously, this snake is not poisonous. But can you guess what kind it is?
On a felled tree over the creek.
The "big two" making a dam in the creek with rocks.
At the nature center, which has a fantastic display of live reptiles, including rattlesnakes, copperheads, king snakes, corn snakes and others. And yes, there are black bears in the mountains (as well as in the swamp in south Georgia).

Great pictures of everybody. Sarah Wynn is about too big for you to hold now, Kristy. Can't believe how much they've grown. You could have left off the picture of the snake - I don't care if it isn't poisonous - don't like them.
