Nature Trails

On the day after Dave's bike ride, we did a little exploring around the countryside surrounding Blacksburg, VA.  Dave saw this covered bridge on his bike ride the day before, so we all went back to get some pictures.
 
 
 After checking out the Covered Bridge, we went to the Cascade Trail to see a beautiful waterfall and the rambling creek on the way there.  Alex and Aubrey had a fun time hiking the entire 2 miles to the falls and the 2 miles back to the car.   (Well, they did have a free ride on our shoulders for a few feet to give them a little break.)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Near the end of the hike, Aubrey heard a lot of chirping coming from the side of the trail.  As we looked over, we saw these baby birds in the fallen log.  We tried to stay our distance so as not to frighten the birds.
