Good Morning Folks, Today is going to be a day spent in the clouds. Not much in the way of vast views into the distance but a perfect day to look closely and observe things like wildflowers slowly fading into winter, little salamanders playing in muddy water or a family of deer wondering through camp. The mountain is full of amazing things besides views off in the distance. Forecast are calling for this heavy cloud cover to continue all day. Small scattered rain showers are continuing all afternoon as well. Last night we received 0.6 inches of rain. With no sunshine making its way past these dense clouds we are staying fairly chilly. Currently 53 degrees outside. Last nights low came in at 49 degrees. If you are planning a hike up be sure to pack that rain gear and bring a few extra warm/dry layers.

On Friday our family will climb to Leconte Lodge for I believe the 29th time. We have done so on the last Friday of August for decades. My Mom, who has MS, hasn't been able to join us for the past five years as she has significant trouble walking. This year I will carry her up as Jack Huff did for his mother. Looking forward to seeing you on Friday!

Hiked to top of Mt. Leconte in Summer of 1959 as a camper at Camp Illahee. Have never forgotten the experience. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
