The weather has been turning steadily colder. As I write this it's 26 degrees outside with a "RealFeel" of 24, plus winds of 8-10 mph! But it really is fun to step outside into the brisk air and feel like the seasons actually do change around here. It's taking a little getting used to the sun coming up around 7:00 and going down around 5:00 though. That makes for a pretty short day.
Well, this past weekend we didn't hike anywhere because I was studying for my CPA exam the whole time, but the previous two weekends we did, so I wanted to post some of the pictures. While the pictures aren't incredible or anything, we did find some of the best views we've ever seen of the area out around Craggy Gardens and Craggy Gardens Pinnacle. That's the first place where we've been where you truly get that "on top of the world" feeling. The pictures just don't do it justice, because you really could see a 360 degree panoramic view of the Appalachians. We even had a nice view of Mt. Mitchell off to the North. Enjoy!
