Visited the Short Springs State Natural Area and hiked Machine Falls Loop. This came out to a 5.3 mile hike over 4:30 hours and a multitude of elevations and billy goat trails. The weather was great, and there were very few people out today so it was very quiet. In addition to Machine Falls, I also did the Laurel Bluff (my favorite, so serene) and Adams Falls (challenged my stamina) Loops. Time to plan for the next hike!!!See more..
