Four Days left at Chickamauga NMP

We are down to our last weekend here at Chickamauga NMP.  Have had a great time here with the 150th, but saw some snow flurries here today so we are ready to head South to Florida for some warmer weather.  Sad to leave all of our good friends.  Will be meeting up with our Canadian friends soon.

This guy (Arnold) was just cooling his tool on a mossy log.

Teresa has named all the squirrels, this one is Blackbeard, must have been eating walnuts.

Didn't think I'd see this in the mountains this time of year.

Teresa calls him Snoot, he jumped up one day and missed his landing and got a snoot full of water.  Very funny then and I didn't have a camera, but he won't jump up to drink anymore.

I've fallen and I can't get up.
