After dinner and PIE, at Beckie’s Cafe along Highway 62, we headed over to a trail head just north of there.

Have you ever seen a stump like this?
Most stump’s we’ve seen have been smooth.

The tree that “feeds” the stump, goes up and up and up!

Can you see it through the trees.
A very pretty area but hard to see with all the foliage in the way.

Lava tubes just like the “natural bridge” we went to see this morning.

Looking upstream.
So pretty and the sound of the water was so peaceful to hear.

Before heading into the gorge/chasm the water cascades down.
