More Vacation Stuff : Our Hike to Mossbrae Falls

We did a very interesting hike on our vacation. The hike was right along side the railroad tracks. We even walked on the cement right next to the tracks. Both on the way to the falls and back a train came. We could feel the tracks vibrating and then we could hear them screech! On the way there, we didn't have a whole lot of room as we backed away from the tracks. The train sounded its horn. Talk about some excitement!! The walk wasn't too far. Other hikers told us that it was 3,000 railroad steps. Some of them were marked with 2,200, then 2,300 and so on. The waterfalls were gorgeous, and the spray was so refreshing. The kids could walk on big river rocks and also get in the water. What was a little annoying was that some people came down with all of their fishing gear and fished right where people were trying to play. This happened at another waterfall where people were trying to swim! Go figure. B was so happy that he found a rock each color of the rainbow. It was so cool. T kept tossing rocks into the water and this poor dog kept thinking T was playing fetch with him. The rock would sink and the dog was so confused! Poor thing. We played around for quite a while and then headed back. T fell asleep after the 2nd train came screeching by.
