Since the shelter-at-home order in March, Sharon and I have been spending a lot of our time at our tiny cabin near Blairsville. The nearby scenery, along with the cool temperatures, make the area an awesome location for engagement sessions.

So, when Cameron and Chandler and I were planning their engagement session, I suggested a couple of mountain locations.

They chose Vogel State Park, only four miles from our cabin.

After we took photos around the lake, we headed to the waterfall. I suggested we go back to the cars and drive around to a parking area nearer the falls. But when we got there, the parking area was blocked.

So, I had what I thought was a brilliant idea. Leave the park, and go around the lake to the road to Woody Gap, where there was another parking place close to the falls. But when we got there, we encountered No Parking signs, again.

The third choice parking place was near a dirt road that I thought would lead us to the waterfall. Alas, it did not. The road was someone’s driveway. To our delight, they weren’t home.

We finally made it to the creek that ran from the foot of the waterfall, but not to the waterfall. At that point, with the light fading, we abandoned our quest for waterfall photos. Maybe it was meant to be. At least Cameron and Chandler didn’t end up in the water, like this couple.

Thanks, Cameron and Chandler, for being such good sports about the whole adventure.
