Morning!
We had a high of 51 yesterday. It felt a bit muggy all day. The overnight low was 42 and it was 47 degrees and overcast this morning at weather observation. We're expecting a 60% chance of afternoon showers, so be prepared for rain! We had crew thanksgiving dinner yesterday. Allyson prepared an amazing(!) meal. It's going to be tough going back to lentils and veggie soup. I went for an evening hike to Cliff Tops. The wind was blowing hard from the valley. It was overcast, but you could see some nice orange hues in the clouds. I hiked back in the dark and finished my first book of the season (Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit). I'm hiking down to Gatlinburg today. I'll be picking up some staples and repackaging them for the llamas. Looking forward to getting all my gear, books, etc. up the mountain on Wednesday and really settling in.

They filmed a movie by that title not to long ago in my area ( Clarkesville, Ga). Which is about 90 miles south of you on 441.

How was the book? I've had a copy in my possession for several years now and have not got around to reading it. Should I move it to the top of the book pile?

Hope you don't get blown off the mountain. If you get a chance hike out to the Jumpoff off of the Boulevard Trail

I cannot believe a high of 51 yesterday? Isn't that unseasonably warm? I saw that Gatlinburg had a high in the 70s today which also seems very high for this time of year. I thought Winter was finally starting to move in but I guess it's not quite ready. We broke a record in Tampa yesterday with 86! We're just under 3 weeks away from our Gatlinburg trip so I hope that winter finds its legs and starts moving in by then. Us Floridians are looking forward to using our Microspikes and Wintergear for a change!

Walking the Alum Bluff Cave Trail; how long would you say it takes to hike it to the Lodge? We are trying to get our timing right; so we won't be walking back in the dark.

Walking the Alum Cave Bluff Trail; how long would you say it takes to walk it; on average? We are trying to get our timing down, so we won't be walking back in the dark.
