Exploring

4/19/2011

It is that time of year to get out and explore the mountain top. It is crazy how the mountain changes year after year. It seems as though there are a lot more blow downs in certain areas. This will eventually lead to the forest floor changing. Chris and I were noticing that the little saplings that were 2 feet tall when we first started are over 7 feet tall. Views we used have have been filled in with new growth. Change is a good thing. It keeps life interesting.

Speaking of change, the temperatures warmed up. The high yesterday was 61 with a low of 39. I hear it is supposed to be warmer today. We will keep our fingers crossed.

I just got word that Mr Bun made it down the mountain safely thanks to Chris. Liam will be very happy. Thanks again to all the staff for a great time and Allyson, it was nice meeting you. I still can't believe that with 4.5 inches of rain not a drop fell on us coming up or going down the mountain.

Great shots! I have been following your posts for quite a while now. My husband and I have day-hiked LeConte several times over the years and spent the night in the shelter the year it was rebuilt. LeConte is a magical place.

I didn't realize you were from Decatur, AL until I looked at your into a few days ago. I was born there and have lived there all my life. We recently moved just out of town on to some old family property in Trinity. I love knowing that you are a "hometown" girl!!
