the he** away.  We'll post Kahley at the gate.

Sounds like a plan.>>


Great idea, but it's been done already  - through a series of ethical and, some say, unethical manuevers, it is now a State Forest. Dee and I have both spent a fair amt of time there walking, running, riding as well as trail building.  At least count, over 4500 volunteer trail maintenance hours have been put in - most of them by youth organizations and mountain bikers but a fair number of hikers and equestrians as well.  It's a gorgeous place and I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. The falls are within a mile or two from the parking lot so its a great place to go with kids and people who don't normally go out and hike a couple hundred miles on their vacations.
