Good Morning,

It’s currently 26 degrees and clear up top. There is still over a foot of snow in the higher elevations on Mt. LeConte. Plan ahead for snow and ice on the trails if you're coming up top.

The taste of coffee lingered on my breath; I walked slowly up the frozen steps on main thoroughfare. My body was tired, my mind hazy. For the first time this winter I had properly tired myself. Smiling at the accomplishment, I continued up the trail - through Narnia.

Yesterday’s speckled sky had faded away. A thick coat of travel haze filled the valleys below. The mountains were changing, but aren’t we all? I soaked in the sunrise, took a deep breath, and traveling back down the trail…lost in thought.

Onward,
Seth
