It started out as just me taking a couple folks who had never been before. Plus I hoped to see much more of the bluebells that were pretty sparse on the earlier trip. But at our meeting place we bumped into folks who were going on the scheduled hike to DeSoto Falls. Apparently after some discussion among the three of them, they decided to join the three of us! So we did the AL route to the Walls, with a short side trip to see the bluebells, and yes they were there in abundance; not as profuse as the best we've ever seen, but still very nice.
