 The rime forming in the trees outside my cabin. It got colder as the day went on yesterday. Greetings, We had a low of 23 last night. With the wind, it felt a good deal colder than that. We had a high of 37, which was also the temperature at observation. It sounds like it's going to be clear and sunny the next few days. The trails should be very icy this morning, so beware! Ron & Gary are still here helping out with the solar panels and all sorts of other camp chores. Gary made some great biscuits this morning. Another reason I am happy to be back in the South! There's been a little bear cub spotted in camp recently. I'm going to try my best to get a picture of him today. I am going for a little hike this morning, then doing my last bit of chores before I'm up here on my own. Looking forward to our Thanksgiving feast tonight!  Sunrise this morning. There's some inversion in the valley after the high pressure system left the mountains.

Happy Thanksgiving to all involved in making the Mt. Le Conte experience awesome every year!!! This weekend ten years ago my family made our first trip up to check it out. Two years later my husband and I made an August trip up to stay at the lodge and celebrate my 50th birthday. As we had been told by other hikers, we are hooked!!! Now I am loving the blog. Always looking forward to the next trip.......mtflcamper

Never been there; but enjoy your Blog and pictures everyday. You have some amazing pics. Had planned on coming this week-end; but plans changed; but hopefully we will be there soon. I'm guessing by the pictures that anytime is a good time on Mt. LeConte. Happy Thanksgiving!

We hiked the mountain yesterday and saw the little bear cub twice. One at the lodge and once on the way down on the trail about 1/4 mile from the lodge! Comments are closed.
