Timber Rattler Near The Mt. Cammerer Trail Junction On The AT in October
I am always suprised to see a big
Timber Rattler in the Smokies. But to see one at over 5000 feet of elevation
and on a cool Fall day was awesome! I was hiking near the Mt. Cammerer Trail
junction when I thought, "What a crazy looking stick." My crazy looking stick
turned out to be a 3 foot Timber Rattler trying to soak up some sun on a cool
day.

Fall Colors Highlight the Beauty of the Mountain in Our Smokies
As my season as Ridgerunner on the
AT here in our beautiful Smokies starts winding down, I am still absolutly
amazed by the beauty of our mountains. The Fall color is fantastic! The early
frost in early October seems to have brought on some really vibrant Fall color
in our Smokies. I hope that you have been able to get out and take it in. I
have a feeling that the snows will soon be here with Winter's icey grip and our
Fall color will be gone. Yet the constant change and growth is part of the
beauty of the Mountains.

The Ash Berries Add A Beautiful Splash Of Red To Our Mountains
As I reflect back on the experiences I have enjoyed hiking our beautiful Great Smoky Mountains over the past few months, I am reminded that The Destination Truly Lies In The Journey. What a great journey it has been. I am continually humbled by the awesome sights of our beautiful Mountains. We are truly blessed to be able to experience this Land Of The Blue Smoke.
