  • 10 Carolinian FEATURES October 20,1999 A Weekend Journey Across Twenty Mile Creek by Mary Beth Fugate Staff Writer Twenty Mile Creek is a hiker's paradise. The sound of water never fades, and the solitude is unbelievable. During May, pink lady's slippers add splashes of color to the forest floor, which are replaced with beds of fallen leaves in October. From the Twenty mile Ranger Station, there is access to the Appalachian Trail, Gregory Bald, and Cade's Cove. This area offers two loop trails, 7.4 miles or 12 miles, which can be done in a day for hardcore hikers, or extended into an overnight trip for the leisurely hiker. Nestled deep in the Southwest corner of the Great Smoky Mountains Park between Tennessee and North Carolina, the Twenty Mile Ranger Station is one of the oldest and most secluded in the park. Here, the Twenty mile Loop, 7.4 miles, begins and is one of the most rewarding and out- of-the-way hikes in the park. The loop starts at Twenty Mile trail and after .6 miles veers left onto the Wolf Ridge Trail. Moore Spring Branch is your noisy companion and crosses the trail three times •Getting There From Sylva, take HWY 74 West. Turn right on HWY 28 North. Drive 27 miles, past Fontana Lake Turn right to Twentymile Ranger Station Park and Take a Hike! turn right. From this junction head east for one mile. This part of the trail is deeply wooded with hemlocks. These majestic beauties filter the sun, turning and twisting the light as it falls onto the gentle, sloping Proctor Field Gap. Beyond this wooded gap, you cross Twenty Mile Creek. This is the sketchiest part of the trip and high water is a serious If You Go • Creek crossings can be dangerous if high water is present. • Do not go after severe rains or snows. • Filter water if possible. If not, treat it with purification tablets or boiling methods. • No dogs allowed in the first half-mile. The footlogs spanning the small creek have long since deteriorated and rock-hopping is the only means by which to cross. Luckily, the day my friend and I went on this trip, the water was down and the creek passable. After one mi le on the Wolf Ridge Trail, problem. Yes, my feet got wet on this one, but I was prepared with a fresh, dry pair of socks. At 4.4 miles, turn right at the junction of Twenty Mile Creek Trail and Twenty Mile Loop Trail. As you begin to descend, immerse yourself in the beauty of this pine and hardwood forest. After one mile, campsite 93 comes into view. This is where we pitched our tents. This campsite is the most serene of all the places I have camped. The fallen pine needles offer a superior place to cushion your tent and sleeping bag. The creek is nearby and full of native trout. I filtered water from the deceivingly pure mountain stream to fix black beans and rice. After dinner and as the sun began to set, casting an orange glow upon us, we were so stirred by the peaceful setting that sound sleep was unquestionable. We went to sleep that night unafraid of shaking tents, stick-like voodoo figures or babies crying in the night. This place is too heavenly to One-Acts Open This Week by Heather Johnson Staff Writer This week, the University Players are performing two one-act plays, Blind Date by Horton Foote, and The Dumbwaiter by Harold Pinter, as a part of the Second Stage series. Blind Date, directed by Maggie Crenshaw, is a comedy about Dolores, a meddling older woman, played by Michelle Lakey, who is desperately trying to set up her reluctant adult niece, Sarah Nancy, played by Serenity Richards, on a date. Sean Lakey plays Robert, Dolores' hen-pecked husband, and Joe O'Brien is Felix, the unfortunate victim... er, date. Horton Foote is also known for writing the screenplays for the films, Tender Mercies and To Kill A Mockingbird for which he received two Academy Awards, as well as the play, A Trip to Bountiful, and the Pulitzer Prize winning The Young Man From Atlanta. The Dumbwaiter, directed by Sean Lakey, is an absurdist comedy starring Ashleigh Sumner and Michelle Lakey as two "hitmen" waiting to a do a job. "Pinter is one of the great absurdist playwrights. He combines comedy and suspense into a compelling look at life. The Dumbwaiter is a mad combination of Laurel and Hardy meet Pulp Fiction. This is a play unlike any other," Lakey said. DATE: Thurs., Oct. 21-Sat., Oct. 23 TIME: Doors open at 7:00pm, Show starts at 7:30pm COST: Tickets are $3 General admission Saturday night is buy one ticket, get one FREE!!! LOCATION: Niggli Theatre j A park patron overlooks afoot bridge on Twenty Mile Creek. photo by Mary Beth Fugate have evil forces or myths of witches dispelling the beauty and grace of the area: no Blair Witch here. Morning came, and with it a refreshing feeling of sleeping well in the woods. From campsite 93, the trailhead from whence you started is only 1.7 miles. Two bridged crossings from the campsite, a small side trail takes you to a beautiful waterfall: Twenty Mile Cascades. It is absolutely lovely, descending in various stages, spilling water over the rocks and rushing down to meet the small pools of Twenty Mile Creek. After this glorious sideshow, turn back to the main trail and continue past Wolf Ridge Trail junction where you started. Sooner than we hoped, my friend and I had reached the end of the trail. It is one of the finest trails I have ever hiked, and even the drive out to it is breathtaking. This trip offers wonderful memories.
