 Good morning, It’s currently 42 degrees and raining. Since yesterday, we have received 2.2” inches of precipitation. Our 24-hour high was 44 degrees with a low of 31 degrees. -- The rain started falling late in the afternoon. Lulled to sleep, the precipitation continued deep into the night. I woke to hear the persistent tatter of rain. Mt. Le Conte would be socked-in and soaked, again. The consistent clear days and crisp sunrises were behind me, for now. The mountain was transitioning. Spring would be here soon. Hot peppermint tea accompanied me as I wandered around the lodge. The rain came in sheets. Soaking through, I snapped a couple photos with my handheld camera. The flavorful tea kept me smiling amidst the deluge. What book would hold my attention today? Maybe I would continue writing my own account of past adventures. Thinking… I made for the loft. Onward, Seth  "Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush." --Doug Larson

Hmm. The picture of Brushy Mountain is a clever one. More questions, I'll away from statements as I have two strikes! The first is about Brushy Mountain. I have been out the Brushy Mountain trail at least three times and in all three cases I felt I was at the end of the trail and did not see big views. It's like the trail sort of quit in the midst of something of a thicket. The trail, in early May, while short is truly beautiful with Rhododendrum leaves all over the ground. Was the picture taken fairly close to Myrtle Point? That trail turns inland fairly soon. Thanks again for the picture!

Anyone can tell that the bottom photo is of your size 11s on the back steps of the kitchen. I suppose that you are counting the days now or are you on this season crew. We will miss your talent when you leave.
