Since we left Helen early, we decided to execute Plan B which involved hiking to Anna Ruby Falls. Unfortunately, when we got to Anna Ruby we discovered that it was closed due to the government shutdown (the falls lie within a national forest). So, we visited neighboring Unicoi State Park and hiked the 2.5 mile Lake Loop Trail. Well, we hiked most of it. Somehow we got lost and ended up on the side of a road trying to figure out where we were. The hike was fun until we got lost. The kids got tired of walking down the road trying to find our car, so they ended up staying beside the road with Brian while I ran about a mile (uphill) to the Visitor's Center to retrieve it. They were gathering firewood when I got back. I'm not kidding.
