project: griffin's camera // day 2

For the second day of my fun with Griffin's camera, we happened to go to Tallulah Gorge - which is absolutely gorgeous (haha) in the autumn. Here are the pictures!

Before we went to the gorge, we went to a little roadside outlook with a cute shop. I liked this scale. It was anciennnnnt. But why is there a mirror? Hmm, while I'm weighing my fortune, let's see how my jeans look today...





Then we had lunch...


It did consist of more than Organic Blue Sky Ginger Ale. But it is the best ginger ale around...









For those of you that haven't visited the gorge before, there is this really amazing walk down the mountain. It's a very long staircase that just winds down the side of the mountain, leading to a suspension bridge, which spans gorge. If you can read that itsy bitsy picture, you'll see that there is 620 steps to the bridge, but 1062 altogether, if you go over the bridge and down to Hurricane Falls. Going *down* the steps is as easy as pie (whatever that means... just makes me think of Pushing Daisies), but going back up is...



This gorge is famous for a crazy tightrope walker who walked across the gorge. One sign said that he did two headstands during his walk. That's some serious business.



We used to go to the gorge every Wednesday when we lived closer. We got so good at walking the steps that we wouldn't even break a sweat going up!





Only several hundred feet of open air under my feet, which are standing on 2x4 slats, nailed to three different beams and held up by hundreds of feet worth of suspension cable. The bridge shakes when you walk across it.

So, we had a great time! We could barely make it up the stairs again...
