This past weekend, the one before Easter, I drove down to Auburn to spend the weekend with Teresa. On Saturday we had wonderful weather so we decided to go to Chewbacca State Park. Okay, it isn’t really Chewbacca State Park, but it sure sounded like it, and that made me want to go even more.

First, we snuck on to the park, Teresa said all the cool kids were doing it and if I didn’t do it also I wouldn’t be cool. I so want to be cool, so I went with her and snuck under the barbed wire onto the park. We walked along a nice little stream with some fierce rapids. Along the way we saw the little frog laying on the arrow sign. We thought it was dead, but you could see it’s little sides flutter from it’s heart beating. We left the little frog, walked past some toads, and ended up at a man-made lake where people were swimming and frolicking. We had no time for that for we were here to see a waterfall of some kind.

Thankfully the waterfall did not disappoint. The water level in the lake was extra high so the river flow was stronger than normal. We hung around on some giant rocks for a while and watched silly children lose their shoes into the water and attempt to retrieve them. Soon it was time to leave and we bid the waterfall adieu and headed home.

It was a good little hike through some of the wilderness that is Auburn, Alabama.
