Can you guess where we were?  Recognize anything?  Fast flowing water, rocks, little blue bridge?

 

We were at the Ocoee, TVA dam #3.  Sunday was a gorgeous day for a Jeep ride, so we rode down to the Ocoee, just 30 miles.  We parked at the first Information Center on the left and walked the one mile trail around the rafting rapids.  It was so fun to see the rafters up close.  Way better than trying to look and drive at the same time, or parking on the side of the road.  This way we got to see them up close, and get in a little walk too.  It is a fee area, so take along $3 to put in one of those little envelopes.  Then you can stay all day, go inside the interpretive center, and enjoy the shade and walking areas.  
 

I couldn't help taking this picture of Mullein growing out of the rocks.  How do plants do that?  They are truly amazing.

 

I'll tell you about Mullein some other day.  I just wanted you to learn about the Ocoee, cause it's a fun thing to do on a hot summer day.  

 

HAPPY ALMOST SUMMER!!!
