    "Drove" most of the AT today from Franklin, NC to Mt Greylock, MA. Drove through GA Saturday and will hit VT & NH tomorrow. Only two states I missed are CT (sorry Coach Lou) and ME. I believe I drove across the AT at least 7 times. And of course…

    Not for sure if the pictures do justice to the sunset. Beautiful colors, but hard to capture mountains with the trees. Felt it was worth the slow drive up (but still faster than hiking up in 2016). Off to Gorham in the morning.

    Drove today from NC to Mt Greylock. The War Memorial was covered for maintenance when I walked through in 2016.

    Winter Linville Gorge

    On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…

    Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
