Drink Plenty of Fluids

Looking out toward west point.
Yesterdays high of 77 degrees is making me think that this might be the record breaking year Mt. LeConte hits 80 degrees. Yesterdays forcast for Knoxville was in the high 90s. If Knoxville hits around the 108 mark, I don't see how we don't hit the 80s. I will keep you all updated. I will say, for the heatwave we are having, we have had a couple of amazingly clear days up top. The visibiltiy is pretty impressive.

I remind you, if you are hiking anywhere in the park this weekend, please, please, please carry a lot of water and electrolytes. DRINK them. Don't just carry them. Carry snacks with salt to replace the sodium you are loosing while sweating. These tips are extremely important when hiking in weather like this. Once you have made it to the top, you will be rewarded with nice cool temperatures.

Its gonna be 98 over here in Maggie Valley. I was thinking just that thought about it might reach 80 up on LeConte. Stay Cool up there!

104 in Birmingham today....I'm afraid to see what the humidity is going to be. 80 on the mountain would feel great!

I sat in my home office and cheered when, after 2 hours of hovering around 99 degrees, my thermometer hit triple digits (like watching an odometer roll over on a car)! It's too bad that we can only get temp updates once a day and can't celebrate (if that's the right word) when the thermometer hits the big eight-oh (if today is the day that happens!)

The temperature on LeConte has never hit above 79 until today. The report that came out a couple of years ago was a mistake somewhere down the line. This is the first time in Mt. LeConte history that we have broken 80 degrees.

We stayed there Wednesday of last week. The high that day was 65. It was a great trip.
