After visiting the homesite we took a ride down to Allison Falls. You need a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to get to the falls. There is a "moonshine shack" down by the falls that can be used as a shelter for get-togethers. Off the trail to the falls is another trail leading to Teacup Pond. At our annual meeting the developers told us they are trying to make the pond into a swimmin' hole but were having problems getting it to hold water. We decided to see what it was all about. Robert turned onto the pond trail and asked us if we should drive or walk and before we could answer he started driving up the trail. It would have been better to walk. There were huge rocks and holes on the trail and Dave had to get out of the car twice to move trees out of the way. We reached a point where it was wide enough to turn around and we got Robert to stop and we walked the rest of the way. The pond only had a bit of water in it so either they hadn't fixed it yet or it was drained for the winter. We found out later the trail wasn't meant for cars - just hiking and that Gary, the guy who works there, once rolled his truck up there.
