Jim and I actually planned a trip to Gatlinburg, TN to hike the Appalachian Trail. We planned the trip to see how the trail was laid out, what shelters were available, and talk to some hikers along the way for advice. When we reached Gatlinburg, we made a short stop to the Visitors Center. I saw a map on the desk and quickly noticed a list of the waterfall trails. I read about Ramsey- a four mile rugged hike just to see it. Jim and I are in good shape (at least I thought!). We quickly made a scheduling adjustment. I was so excited- my first journey to see the second largest waterfall in TN!

The next morning we headed out. We packed our water, granola bars, and apples. I would have packed more...but how long could a four mile hike be???

The weather was perfect! We started the trail. I had my music and Jim had his camera. I kept hearing the water close by. We were on the trail (seemed like a 2.5 hours). We were getting tired and hot and we finally came across this sign..

And had 2.5 miles to go..we weren't even halfway there....

This journey took us across wooden bridges, creeks, and gorgeous landscape, I decide right then and there I was going to paint a series devoted to this trail. I just completed the final painting...Ramsey.

It started raining on the way back.  Jim took a picture of the raindrops. I love this picture and will be working on a raindrop painting in the near future.
