Me and the kids struck out for a quick little day hike last weekend at Sipsey Wilderness in AL. It was nice to get away and to go someplace cool, and even more so since my kids were with me.
Anyway, we planned to "wade" across the Sipsey River and then enjoy a lunch at a waterfall...we ended up skipping across the river on some rocks and having lunch at a water drip... http://www.backpacker.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
Really though, the water was pretty dried up, but not completely gone, but in the heat we hiked in it really was no surprise. We still had a good time though.
I posted some pics and a video of some of the hike on my blog if anyone is interested:
