This weekend Barbie and I took a trip on the Parkway to Skinny Dip Falls and had a wonderful time.  It was a warm day and the rain let up for once, to make things even better there weren’t too many people there so we had one of the swimming holes to our selves, there are two deep ones and two shallow ones.  The trip to and from the falls is 1 1/4 mile and isn’t too steep, it’s a great trip for beginner hikers like Barbie and I or families with small children.  The swimming holes have ledges which make for great jump off spots and the water isn’t too cold, once you get used to it.  This makes for a great weekend trip because it’s free, did I mention that I’m cheap, and you get some exercise along with a fun trip.  The one thing I will do differently the next time is to remember the clip to attach my camera to my tripod, it is very disappointing to carry the tripod all the way in for pictures of the falls and not be able to use it.  Below are some photos of our trip, you should go some time!
