I haven't heard any word of the road (Hwy 441/ Newfound Gap Road) opening anytime soon.

The wind pushed me steadily toward the rising sun. I didn’t argue with he help. My legs were tired and the winter layers wore heavy on my shoulders. Looking up to survey the landscape, I noticed the quiet moon smiling down on me. It’s always a special treat seeing the moon and sun share the same display of southern sky.
Mount Le Conte shielding me from the gusts. My camera shutter chimed steadily at the three hundred and sixty degree spectacle. I stepped out onto the familiar ledge. Exposed to the elements, the wind was now on the offensive…
I was thankful for the heavy winter layers.
Onward,
