 Food store room at the beginning of the season. I will take a picture as it empties out. It is amazing how much food is in there at the beginning of the season. Today is the day the guests start arriving. It is always and exciting day waiting for the season to officially begin. The weather is not looking so inviting. It is currently socked in. The low last night was 33 with a high of 44.

Can someone give me Alex's e-mail? I wanted to get reports from his European hiking, but when I went back and looked for it, I can't find it. Alex's email is [email protected] We got a first email a couple days ago. He is leaving for Paris on 3/23. Said we might not hear again for awhile. If you send me your email address I'll forward the one we got. My address is [email protected]. If you don't get in touch with him to begin receiving his emails let me know and I'll forward any we receive until you do get in touch with him.

Wow...to be back in Michigan looking at this picture gives me a wonderful feeling. My heart is as full as the food storage room! Thanks for allowing us to help with the airlift. What an amazing experience with an amazing group of volunteers and crew members! Happy First Lodging Day!

Hiked up on opening day last year with my son Landon and we have longed to return everyday since. Couldn't make it this year but we will be there in spirt. Hope to hike up for the day later this year if we can make it to the area. Enjoy the mountain and eat an extra cookie for Landon.

Oh my goodness. Somewhere within all of those supplies is my lunch for my very first hike to LeConte in June. Do you use fresh or canned chicken for the chicken salad sandwiches?

It don't matter what kind of chicken they use. When I get to the top of LeConte I'm so hungry I could drink the juice from one of them cans of chicken!

Don't be so grossed-out ladies. You eat the chicken that's been soaking in the juice don't you? Besides, it's rich in sodium, just what your body needs after a long sweaty hike. Plus, it's chicken flavored and not just salt flavored. Maybe you'd prefer canned tuna?
