Good Afternoon,
It’s been a wet and sloppy day for much of this Friday in the mountains. The rain has lingered much longer today than originally anticipated, slicing down like a conveyor belt from the northwest. Slowly but surely the precip is vacating the vicinity but don’t be surprised if these clouds hold onto the higher peaks and continue to mist through the evening. Saturday looks mostly cloudy with windy conditions and mild temps ranging from 40s to 50s. Sunday is shaping up to be the best day of the weekend, calling for sunshine and temps in the 60s. All this rain is doing wonder for the vegetation. The Myrtle blooms down at Inspiration Point are filling in nicely, and the Catawba rhododendron there will be opening up before long. Usually the Myrtle doesn’t show out at Cliff Tops and its namesake point up here til about mid May. The rejuvenation of life in these mountains comes in vivid color, varying shapes, sized both big and small, visible both high and low. Take advantage of those moments during the hike to “stop and smell the roses!” Have a great rest of the day.
