We just got back into town. We were going to stay another night and day in the mountains but decided against it. We were both just too tired (I did a lot of power hiking) and we missed the cats. So we came home tonight.
On the deck of Bruce and Susan's house in Hickory Nut Gorge (taken this morning). Way off in the distance behind Carole (and shrouded in clouds) is Mount Mitchell, highest peak in the eastern USA.
Carole with our hosts Susan and Bruce (with Shumont Mountain in the background).More photos and stuff about the trip tomorrow when we've rested and the photos are all downloaded and processed.

Looks like a nice place! I need to get out hiking soon! It's been over a month!
I hate going long stretches without hiking. Yesterday I speed-hiked Craggy Gardens and half of the Big Butt Trail. The Big Butt Trail was really a bummer (haha!) because I only had time to hike half of it, which meant that I had to turn around and head back to the truck (and Carole) just short of the overlook which, I am told, provides the finest view of the Black Mountains anywhere. Oh, well.
