For the long weekend, Jeannie, Jack and Zane, and I all drove out to John's Mountain Wildlife Management Area to visit a place we've been planning to check out for a while, called The Pocket. I'm never entirely sure where WMA ends and NF begins up there, but it's very near Lake Marvin and the Girl Scouts' Misty Mountain Camp. The Pocket is built along a scenic creek that runs cool and clear from a natural spring. Though we didn't see it ourselves, some friends we ran into up there said they have seen people bottling the water from the spring, gathering it right at the source.
Jack and Zane had a blast, throwing rocks and running down the creekbed. Jack and Jeannie managed to corner a five inch crawdad (so they say!) that just slipped past them, and despite the relative crowd of people there, we were able to find a quiet stretch of creek to play in. In his typical enthusiastic manner, Jack said that it was the best day of his life and that he hoped we could live there. Either he's like me and just loves the outdoors, or we've done a terrible job showing that kid a good time so far!
