6.21.17: Ask and you shall receive

Casey at the request of Pat hike up a watermelon for all of us! Nothing beats a watermelon on top of a mountain!

We are lucking out with gorgeous sunsets!

Most of our evenings get foggy pretty quickly and then all of a sudden it clears up for a wonderful display of purple and oranges. Dollywoods fireworks make the evenings especially special.

63/49 are our temp, prepare yourselves for a very, very wet weekend! Rain is in the forecast the next days , umbrellas and raincoats are a must.

Do we have any readers who are birders?
There is some adorable bird I cannot see, but it's small, if not smaller, than a junko and makes a “mew-WHEET” sort of call. It is high up in the trees and I would love to know what it is!

There are also 3 deer and a tiny, barely as tall as your knee, fawn that hang out around the outskirts of camp. It is fun to watch them because the fawn will stand out of the mothers sight. She'll start running around, making snorting noises until they are reunited.

It’s quite fascinating.

And the fawn is so cute.

Also, keep an eye out for salamanders, they are somehow getting inside buildings lately.

Happy hiking!
