We had a really busy and fun day today. We went up to Pilot Mountain. Compared to Utah mountains, it is a hill. Fun none the less. The trees are changing color and it's just beautiful. After that we headed over to the Yadkin river to try some fishing. No luck there, but it sure made for a nice picnic spot. On our way home we saw a sign that read Hanging Rock National Park. We sure got our exercise when we decided to take the 2.4 mile hike (round trip).
This is the looking down from Pilot Mountain. FYI: Pilot Mt rises 1400 ft above the valley floor. There are trees everywhere. There is camping, hiking trails, and horseback riding. Plus the lazy Yadkin river is nearby for fishing or rafting. It is best recognized as Mt. Pilot from the Andy Griffith show. We are in Mayberry...
Where's Isabelle?
There she is! Such a happy girl when she's outside. 
He's starting early...good thing he can't reach the pedals. What a cheese!
This was the phrase of the day: "Now, that's the way to hike" Isa was the least tired of the bunch.
Defunct train tracks....make for great pictures.
Sam took this picture of us. He's acquiring mad skills with the camera.
Ready to start fishing...
Yadkin River...
No fishies...
Rrarr! I'm a tiger!
Busy eating lunch, being a space cadet just like her mom...
The beginning to our 2.4 mile trek at Hanging Rock National Park.
Beautiful colors. Love this time of year.
Look I'm a tree....
"I'm tired"
How I hiked half the trip up and most the trip down. Couldn't tell you which was worse.
Stopping for a small break...almost there.
My knees were trembling...so worth the hike up.
I love Isa in this picture.
Another one of Sam's picture.
Always ready to climb...
Reading the sign, making sure we are heading the right way out.
