Cascade Brook - Appalachian Trail

We are more adventuresome now, in our "old" age, then we were when we were "young."
We hiked about 3-4 miles on a trail with elevation changes around 500 feet today. The trail follows Cascade Brook, up to Kinsman Falls, and Rocky Glen Falls, joins the Appalachian trail for a distance and then intersects the "Pemi" trail along the Pemigewasset River. We walked, climbed and literally crawled up and over tree trunks/roots, boulders and mud holes as the rivers cascaded beside us. We lost count of how many brooks, streams and rivers we crossed - not on bridges - but by using boulders as stepping stones. The scenery is amazing - there is a beautiful waterfall around every turn. We met two single guys on the trail - other than them it was just us and the woods. Wondered about bears! Took us about 3 hours but it was invigorating. We were so proud of ourselves! Held down a lawn chair most of the afternoon and probably won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow! If you want to see our web album with pictures of our trek just email me and I will send it to you. Figured we should document the hike or no one would believe we did it!
