BBQ, Civil War Mansion, Hiking & Waterfalls

September 23rd, 2017

Fall is a season full of festivals and fun things to do.

Saturday, we attended the Blue & Gray BBQ Contest Festival in Chickamauga, Georgia.


We toured the Gordon-Lee Mansion, which was beautiful. I love these old houses.

There were Civil War re-enactors (Living History), Cannon blasting, and lots of BBQ trailers.

Yummy delicious BBQ sandwiches

After lunch we headed down to Lafayette to the Crockford-Pigeon Mountain WMA to walk the Shirley Miller Wildflower Trail.

There wasn't really any wildflowers on the trail at this time of year, and the waterfall didn't have a lot of water, but it was a great hike and place to see.






This was about the extent of the waterfall today.
Eek!
Watch it, Ryan, it's going to eat you!
Downstream a bit
What a gorgeous day!
There were some lovely wildflowers in the parking lot.
