Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

From the Great Smoky Mountains National Park - We wish you a Happy New Year!

And a belated Merry Christmas.  As you can see, we were all tuckered out and couldn't get to the blog!

Max Patch, NC

We went hiking yesterday.  It was a fantastic day, sun was

out and the temperature was perfect for a late Feb walk

amongst the mountains of NC.  Max Patch gives you a

spectacular 360 degree view of the mountains of NC

and TN.

The Appalachian Trail (AT), a 2,100 mile trek from Maine

to Georgia crosses the summit of Max Patch.  After

yesterday, only 2,098 miles to go before we complete

the trail.

Our neighbor, Jack's Dad, took us on up to the summit.

One tired puppy...

Hi, Ho, Hi, Ho....It is off to climb we go...

On a crisp, early morning in March we decided
to explore our backyard, so off we shot on an
upward journey, ridge line to ridge line until
we couldn't go any further.
