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.

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.

Hi Nathan. Thanks for taking over for Allyson. We appreciate news from up top. Good job! 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! 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.
