Pea Soup On The Mountain

9/26/2011

This morning's sunrise.

Hello sunshine! Oh wait, that would be my "Happy Light". It is a bit on the gloomy side this morning. I nailed it yesterday. The clouds blew away and we had a gorgeous day. The high was 64 with a low of 54. I can only hope that will happen today, although it is not looking very promising at the moment.

a gloomy day on the mountain is better than a sunshiny day at work!

Gloomy? How about "shrouded" or "blanketed"? My wife and daughter and I hiked up years ago when it was thickly fogged in. We had hiked up Alum Cave, and the last stretch, like the last stretch up Rainbow, was held by this "Harry Potteresque/Tolkien" fog that created a completely foreign world on either side of the trail.
We hiked up to Cliff Tops, and not only was their no sunset, but there was no world whatsoever beyond the rocks we were standing on. No shades of trees, light or sky. Nothing.
That nothing was really something.
Another shade of Mount LeConte.

I couldn't have said it any better than Bill and tomk ! The fog is one of my favorite aspects of the lodge experience;
