"Keep on the sunny side. Always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day It will brighten all our way If we keep on the sunny side of life" - Doc Watson, 1923-2012 I was saddened to awake to the news of Doc Watson's passing. I was fortunate enough to see him perform live on several occassions. One of the pastimes Chris and I enjoy during our trips off of the mountain is to attend concerts and music festivals. I have been fortunate enough to attend the Merle Watson Festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival on numerous occassions. I have seen Doc perform on many different stages. His contributions to the wonderful world of bluegrass will be truely missed.
Yesterday was a good day to catch up on some indoor chores. It rained for most of the day. We were treated to a beautiful rainbow right before sunset. The high yesterday was 69 with a low of 47.

Allyson, we will not be visiting LeConte until this Sept. Will there be any T-shirts left then? I certainly want a T-shirt to commemorate my first time up on Mt. LeConte.

Of course there will be shirts. We can not have you hike all the way up and not get a shirt :)
