A beatiful day for a snowy hike on the Blood Mountain section of the Appalachian Trail. There were LOTS of families hiking and enjoying the day.
The beginning of the trail....
The trails were beautiful, but slippery.
View from the top:
Tree at the Mountain Crossings at Walasi-Yi. Appalachian Trail hikers leave their boots here...
Book by the owner of the Mountain Crossings store. I haven't read it yet, but it sounds great!
After our hike, we stopped by the old Choestoe cemetary to see the memorial for Micajah Clark Dyer. He was a native of Union County, GA and it is believed that his drawings and patents for a "flying machine" pre-date the Wright Brothers.
