Once again, we are starting out the day in a dense cloud cover. The wind is blowing and there is some precipitation. The high yesterday was 69º with a low of 58º. The trails are settling down and we are seeing less kids and more couples around the lodge. It is hard to believe Labor Day is a week away. It won't be long until the crew starts guessing the first snow fall. All in all, this summer has been pleasant. The sun has provided plenty of vitamin D and the days stayed relatively cool. We have only had a handful of days that I remember being really warm. As long as the sun is shining I am just fine. I hope the trend continues into the fall.

Hello, in reference to your blog post a few days ago about the absence of veeries on the mountain, they were present in abundance in late June in Cataloochee and at the Laurel Gap shelter. We constantly heard their dual-noted call all over the mountains

I doubt it's gotten higher than 78, but that's my guess.
