Yesterday was what perfect days are made of. Cool temperatures, sunny skies, and flowers blooming everywhere. The high was 68º with a low of 46º. The hikers decided yesterday was better for a day hike. Can't say I blame them. It was spectacular.
We are starting to see our number of guests drop again. It is that time of year when the families are at home getting the kids ready for the first day of school. We notice less large groups and more couples for this time of year. This is also the time of year we see the weather patterns shift. The rainy days seem to be replaced with cool and sunny days. We are coming into my favorite time on the mountain. I often tell people that September on the mountain is more like October in the lower elevations. We don't have much vegetation that changes color, so it is more cooler temperatures and crisp skies than fall colored foliage.

That's how it USED to be here in Ohio when I was a kid! But now they start the kids back in the middle of August. I think they would like them to go year round... but the farmers say NO!!!

You said fewer hikers but did you have 68 overnight hikers? Maybe the first of August would be the best for an overnight stay.

Some schools here in mid-TN started last Friday... the rest of the public schools start at different times this week. At least the temps aren't too crazy hot right now for the boys and girls on the PM rides home on the ol' yellow schoolbus.

It used to be that school would start after the Indiana State Fair. Now many are in school before the fair gets started. I would hate to be a kid nowadays.
