Oh no, we need the rain not only for our lakes, streams and everyday use, but it makes for an awesome waterfall and challenging river crossings.
Since our beginner backpacking trip was cancelled for this past weekend, I gathered a couple of friends and took off to the Cohuttas yesterday. It's the same hike I'm doing next weekend. Some of the river crossings on the Conasauga were over thigh high.. Woohoo. Compared to last years ankle deep water, I was a happy hiker and Panther Creek falls was flowing nicely as well.
