We had a slow start, but that's all right. Jimmy made a phone call to 
his friend Troy at St Marks Powder (who used to live in Greenville) and he suggested a hike at Jones Gap State Park in northern SC. Wow - he was right! It was one of the best hikes we've been on. The damp, leaf-strewn Jones Gap trail follows the tumultuous Middle Saluda River, as it gushes down the mountains, sliding over boulders the size of Mac trucks, and including several striking waterfalls. We stopped to examine one of the pools and discovered both a nice-sized crawfish and a salamander in the chilly water. The air temp was in the mid-70's - perfect for enjoying the great outdoors. Lovely day.
