Today OTG


Today I walked a short distance (3mls RT), along a beautiful stream, with temperatures in the 40's and cloudy skies. Driving in on Hwy.#321, cloud were still resting over the main body of mountains here in the park. Maybe Steve, who just spent two days up on LeConte, visiting Doug will tell us of the weather up there? Like did it snow while yuin's was up there?
I spoke with a very pleasant couple, Ron and Norma(?), who had been back here on one of their "family visits". They told me that some of the family says they only visit so they can spend time in the Smokies. She had started "playing" in the park in 1953, and her husband in 1955. They told me lots of neat things and and shared their unspoken love of this region. Wow! Another great day in the woods, thanks folks for being a part of it!
