Cumberland Knob
August 15, 2004. We celebrated Papa's 60th birthday with a picnic and hike at
Cumberland Knob. The two mile hike along the Gully Creek Trail starts at
an elevation of 2885 feet, then drops 800 feet over the first mile before
climbing straight back up on the second mile, crossing the creek a half dozen
times at the bottom. Not bad for a crowd that
included a one year old in a stroller, a three year old, a four year old and a six year old.
The battery in my camera died during the hike, so I missed a lot of great
photos. The scenery was beautiful and we made a pretty motley crew
climbing up and down the trail, both of which I would have like to have had more
pictures of. Luckily Deana had a disposable camera with her and sent me
some of the pics below.
August 8th,
2004. We went to Cumberland Knob at mile marker 217 on the Blue Ridge
Parkway for a family picnic and hike. The weather was too nice to not take
advantage of being outside. The boys fell asleep on the way and enjoyed
waking up to a picnic in the woods.
