I guess it is a New Year, but what better way to start than another edition of Down the Rabbit Hole, this time to Indian Flat Falls. Next, to an AT (Appalachian Trail) hike my favorite place to hit the trail, and carry the Big Lummox, is in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). The Lummox and his ilk will tell you it was cold, but it was Hiking Machine weather. While eight miles, the trail was a one-star (for difficulty) for a hiker of my level.
Indian Flat Falls was nice, but I had to hoist him on my back so we could finish the Middle Prong Trail. While he complained, the load seemed lighter than it had on the way up to the falls. Anyway, while the load was heavy the hiking machine handled it with ease. Overall, it was a good day out, but what hiking day isn't. I even found a rock that looked to honor me...nice!
