We all awoke at 9 Eastern to the Cingular tune. Jeff sprinted across he apartment apparently thinking it was his cell phone. Nate hadn't woke us up at 6 central apparently because he'd heard rain outside. It was still raining. We had a little to eat, stopped by Walmart, and drove to NC. We passed through Cashiers after about 3 hrs and drove to our first cascades, Toxaway Falls, below Lake Toxaway. We parked at a restaurant, crossed a bridge, and started down the steep granite slope. It was rather fun descending in my sandals. I kind of slid once but was able to quickly control my descent. It was drizzling a little bit still but blue sky was on the horizon. Climbing back up the steep granite with my temporarily massive and heavy dry box worried me a little until I figured out the proper ascending technique. Then it was easy. We walked back to the car and drove to Rainbow Falls. To Rainbow Falls
