Yes...the pictures are beautiful. Makes me wish I was a better photographer (but not enough to want to pick up another hobby!)

Nice. Those boardwalks are beautiful. I can sympathize with the beach walk. The Great Lake water levels are up and many of our beaches have become narrow or non-existent.

I had a nice walk today as I explored House Mountain just outside Knoxville. Not many actual miles to add to my (still nonexistent) 2019 Mileage List. It was only 3 miles of hiking but about 20 miles for the smileage list!
It was amazing to hike up to the ridge and sit for a while, listening to the sleet, gazing at the view with a thermos of coffee by my side and cheese, pepperoni, and bagel chips for lunch. Hiking in winter is wonderful.
The House Mountain natural area is in Knox Co and managed by the Parks and Rec dept. It is representative of the Cumberland’s with all the boulders and the narrow ridge.
A few pics. Some of the rocks reminded me of pancakes and one of the pictures looks blurry because the sleet was a bit heavy.

Thrilled to hear about your hike at House Mountain. Nearly 20 years ago my friend Mary took me up there on one of my visits to Knoxville. I agree with everything you said and your pics brought back some real cool memories. That was before I ever set foot on the AT. Did you see many other people there? If I remember correctly Mary and I had the whole place to ourselves.Traffic Jam wrote:

To be able to enjoy coffee or hot chocolate there would be very pleasant.

Funny thing, some time after i replied to your post, guess who should show up at my door. Yep, the one and same Mary who showed me House Mountain so many years ago. I finally convinced her to move down here in 2001. She likes being near the beach, but will always be a TN girl. Showed her your post and she too was thrilled to see the pics of her old haunt. Now you have both our thanks.Traffic Jam wrote:

Walked 4 miles with a 15# pack. It was on asphalt. Trying to decide if that constitutes hiking and can be added to my mileage?
I sat down this morning and started my 2019 mileage list. One of my problems is sometimes I don’t know how many miles I hiked and have to guess.

When I read Rembrandt, I immediately think of the Rembrandt letters in Silver Streak.
Probably Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder's best together.
