That ultimate world, he thinks, or rather dreams, the final world of meat, blood, fire, water, rock, wood, sun, wind, sky, night, cold, dawn, warmth, life. Those short, blunt and irreducible words which stand for almost everything he thinks he has lost. Or never really had. And loneliness? Loneliness? Is that all he has to fear? Edward Abbey

Morning y'all,
​
It's another beautiful, blue gray day up top. The high yesterday reached 42 degrees. The overnight low was 22 degrees. It was 34 degrees and clear at 7am observation. The mountain received no new precipitation. There is no snow up top. The trails are almost entirely clear of ice. Get out and enjoy the day! Much thanks to Dick for his many kindnesses (that coffee is the truth!) - I look forward to seeing you again SOON!

We were in Gatlinburg 12-17-21,and wanted to hike some but weather was rainy,cloudy and no sun and we tried to spend most of our time helping the economy as much as we could .Ha It was Heart Breaking to see our Smokey Mts.suffer all the devastation that was so un -called for,but God will get them through.Keep warm

Merry Christmas J P. I live in New Hampshire and just love the White Mountains. Drive up Mtn Washington every year but nothing beats the Smokies.
