When we reached the visitor center, we took the turn for the Fighting Creek Nature Trail that wanders through the woods highlighting different trees. One eventually comes out at the sight of John Ownby's Cabin. It had been a long time since I had been back here, although my family has some fond memories of this place. None of which I will mention here, but it was interesting to relive said experiences as I stepped inside the cabin. Shortly after we left the cabin and made our way around the rest of the loop hike, we stumbled upon a large gathering of turkeys. They seemed unalarmed by our presence, so we watched them from the trail for several minutes. We counted about twenty turkeys in all.
On our return trip we took the detour to Cataract Falls. Bonnie had never seen it, it was close by, and there was no sign of rain, so we gave it a go. Not the most impressive of waterfalls in the park, but still one to be appreciated. We eventually made it back to town unscathed and grateful that we got in some exercise. At least this way we wouldn't feel guilty spending the rest of the day being lazy.
