Welcome Back Chrissy

4/10/2012

Good morning everyone.  I'm Nathan, the assistant manager at LeConte Lodge, and Allyson's been kind (and patient) enough to train me on updating High on LeConte in preparation for her days off.  This is her photo, as she's far more accomplished in that field than I.  It's a mighty delicate thing updating a website from a mountain without electricity that is freely available in the great cosmopolitan centers of world commerce.  I hope it's easier to learn than shaving my head by light of a kerosene lamp (that requires a great deal of faith and a handful of bandages).

We've been enjoying a nice spell of weather here on LeConte.  The nights and mornings have been chilly, but not inordinately so for this time of year.  We topped out at a high of 51 Monday, while our overnight low slid to 28.

Upon Chrissy's return to the lodge last night, we marked the completion of our 2012 LeConte crew.  She was a valued member of last year's staff and we're proud to have her back.  She ascended via Alum Cave Bluff and reported that the trail was as dry as she could remember.  That should make for good hiking and safer traction on the rocks.

Come on up and see us.  Happy trails.

Nathan, nice inaugural post!
Chrissy, welcome back. Glad to know that our Cincinnati connection has made it back to enjoy another wonderful season. Hopefully you will see that elusive bear this time.

Congrats on being up on crew again Chrissy, I know that's where you really want to be & it's great knowing you're once again part of the fantastic staff at the top. I'll try and drag Waterboy up on one the trips in the near future as I'm sure he'll be glad to know you're back. See ya soon.

Good job Nathan you had a wonderful post!! I don't know if you remember me, but you went to take my pic and Allison said she'd do it since she wanted to post us on her guest sightings. I think I was talking to you and got side tracked, please forgive me. I know what you and the crew were eating that day looked pretty tasty! Toasted chesse with some sort of meat in it. The crew there are wonderful people and were honored to have such great people looking after the lodge. Thank you!

Hi Nathan! Glad to hear about the Alum Cave trail. We'll be coming up tomorrow. We were snowed out the last time we tried in April. Can't wait to return the lodge!

Hello Nathan. Great first blog! My husband and I have met you a couple of times up there when we have been overnight guests at the lodge. We appreciated your kind hospitality you showed to all the guests! It's just so great up on Le Conte!!

Hey Nathan!!! Great blog! Allyson trained you well! Of course you are already a great writer. We're looking forward to your blogs for the time Allyson is off the mountain. We're very happy to hear that Chrissy is back. We'll see you in May. Take care!

Welcome back Chrissy. I heard you would arrive after Easter. Hope to be making a trip before my new granddaughter arrives in June.
Maybe you will be baking cookies again!

Great job Nathan. Allyson has left the blog in capable hands.
Welcome back Chrissy. Look forward to seeing you and the rest of the crew when we come up in July for two day stay. Hopefully i'll make a couple of day hikes before.

Hello, Nathan! you did as fine a job as a writer on this blog as you did checking me into my cabin March 29th and making me very much at home. Thank you for your hard efforts on the mountain.
