Seven Sinks 11/05/20

Panther Creek State Park, Morristown, Tennessee

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  ~ Genesis 1:1

Another great devotional!

You can purchase a Jeep tire cover that says, “All who wander are not lost”.

We spent a couple of hours wandering today, but we were sorta, kinda lost.  They don’t always mark the trails very well.  The first one (.6 mile loop) to the Seven Sinkholes, was pretty well marked – once we found the trailhead off the parking lot.  You’ll be happy to know that I took a picture of each one!  Aren’t you excited to see them?!?  😊

There were a number of picnic tables in a nice wooded setting by the parking lot. Looked like most were being used by the squirrels for black walnuts. : )
Here’s the start!
It’s warmer today!

Since we wanted to walk more than .6 miles today, we left the trail and cut through the woods to a wide path/road? that was close by.

Cutting through the woods towards that road in the background.

We began well on the Maple Arch equestrian trail, but it’s a fairly long loop, and it wouldn’t get us home.  Blaine checked his map, but it’s not a very good map, so we found ourselves wandering around and back and forth, trying to find the best way home that wouldn’t take us hours.

Another painted rock!
We don’t know why someone was trying to work a puzzle in the middle of the trail . . . We’re guessing they put these pavers in for erosion purposes?
A pretty corner of the reservoir.
Time to make our way back.

Eventually we made it back to the Jeep!  It’s a good thing too, because we had no provisions with us except two bottles of water and some tic tacs, and all we’d had to eat was a few pancakes and a shared banana.

I don’t remember what we had for dinner, but rest assured, it was really good.  Of course, anything would be good when you’ve been considering you might miss a meal – or two . . . 😊
