Our next stop

Dismals Canyon, Phil Campbell,AL. We stayed in a cabin on the property but there are bunk houses and primitive camp sites for the more adventurous. We got to swim in a natural spring 'swimmin hole' (which felt like something the polar bear club would visit). Daniel and I both dared each other to totally submerge; Hannah Kate would only get in to about her knees but absolutely loved it and wanted to get in daily; And Reed just watched contently from the rocky side. We also walked through the floor of the canyon-about a mile and a half trail- at our own pace. It's really breathtaking. All of the canyon walls and huge rocks were moss covered and hanging over us. Temperature was in the mid 70s in the canyon but didn't feel too much warmer back around the cabin. As for the Hooker's first family of four getaway, this was a GREAT summer spot!





Hannah Kate found a sand bar and was able to make a sand castle- best part of the beach without actually being there!
