2nd Trip to Amicalola Falls


We enjoyed the Kassow Kruise today making another trip to the falls. We were so excited to have 15 cars in our caravan. Many of these people knew Bob Kassow and Jane came to say hi to everyone even though she didn't go with us. Here is Steve Cripps, Me, Jane, Bill and Bill. It was a pretty overcast day and a bit chilly so we kept the top up as did most everyone else. It started sprinkling by the time we were nearly there and then while we were enjoying the lunch buffet the fog set in and it rained pretty good. Never fear, we had towels in the trunk for just such events. Even though it was dreary the mountains still looked pretty and it was fun to see the fog and mist roll in and out.

I took a picture of all of the cars as we stopped after about an hour for a potty break and a leg stretch. We were the lead car which is ok but I prefer the rear so you can watch all the cars in front of you.




And for Sarah and Lee and Mike and Donna. Since it was Saturday we got to see the birds of prey. The 1st one here is a Barred Owl. I liked it the best. It almost looked fake as it rotated its head around. The next photo is of a red tailed hawk. There were two other owls, a great horned owl and a barn owl which were cool too. Also a kestrill, ( a small falcon like bird). It was so interesting that Bill and I stayed to watch the whole thing even though others left. The park lady drove me crazy but it was still neat. Sorry you all missed this. Next week they are bringing snakes. I think I will stay home.

  1. It looks like all of you had a great drive. Glad it was such a nice turnout. Everyone looked so happy.
    Love seeing the birds. I think they are so fasenating.
    I bet you turned a lot of heads seeing so many old cars all together.
    Thanks for the pictures.
    Love, Gram

  2. The cars look awesome! Yeah- I'm glad we didn't schedule the trip on the snake Saturday. But the owls look cool!
