Reflections Of The Smokies
 
Peaceful Sunset In Sevierville Tennessee, 2/11
    I have been very blessed to enjoy a beautiful winter here in town.  My winter is quickly coming to a close.  I will start my new job as a Ridge Runner on the Appalachian Trail here in our beautiful Smokies in just a couple weeks.  I have spent a lot of time with family and friends this winter.  I have also spent a lot of time enjoying UT Basketball (which you know if you follow me on facebook).  On that note send me a friend request at dougmcfalls/facebook.com if you would like to.   But, I am really looking forward to working in our fantastic Smokies this year.

    I will start my new job on the 28th of February.  By March 4th I will start hiking the AT through the Smokies.  I should be on the trail for about 5 days and then home for a couple days through the end of October.  So plan to have a weekly Blog Post from me full of beautiful images from the Smokies and stories of my adventures as Ridgerunner.  You should see a post from me around the middle of each week.  I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy here in our beautiful smoky Mountains.  I will be on the AT in the park most days from March 4th through the end of October so come out and see me.  I am really looking forward to serving you (my hiking friends) and taking care of a small but beautiful part of the fantastic Appalachian Trail here in our wonderful Smoky Mountains.

Is that a job you do by yourself or will you have a team of ridge runners?
