“Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.”
-Abraham Lincoln

Took some new routes through Racoon Creek again this week. We found this structure along out ways. The steep that can be in the center of the door way we took the challenge and replaced it on the top. Not sure why I didn’t snap a pick but was a challenge. But I know Matt has a pic of it in its right place.

I am not really sure if this is humor or stupidity.  It made me laugh.

This is from a little while ago but was my first attempt at stop frame animation.

What we hike through was the Frankfort Mineral Springs Resort.  This was the remains of a health spa for the wealthy in the mid 1800s.  There was one remaining structure at the top of the hill, other that that there are several unnatural rock structures that we saw along the trail that would have been the foundations of lodges or something of that nature.

This scene was a surprise to us. You could pass under the ice into a cave / cavern area that had ice forming from the roof of the rock as well as from the ground from the dripping water.  This is straight ahead of the bridge seen in the image above. Very cool!

I am not certain how these had formed but they were like ice marbles.

This one spring of water in particular appeared to have large amount of iron in the water.  You can see the rust that is staining the surrounding areas.  Thing that is odd is that the rock that the water was dripping into has formed to the shape of a bowl.

This was my quote today on my phone. When I read it, I just felt it.

“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”, Charles Dickens
