The AT

For some that means the Appalachian Trail but on Sunday for Elena it meant Applalachian Treasures. After a tasty pancake and bacon breakfast to load up for our long day, we headed off for our first family hike along the AT. We'd picked a grueling route, 0.6 miles to the Wind Rock lookout. We had two snacks, lunch, and a juice box for supplies. Luckily, we all made it. Elena took her backpack and trucked right along the trail, stopping frequently to get 'treasures' for her bag. Rocks, acorns, and sticks were popular. As was peeing in the woods. We made it to the look out and spend a nice hour or so sitting in the sun, watching the turkey vultures smoke down the valley, and gazing into West Virginia. We were not alone in our idea on the warm (80 degrees!) fall day. A few of the leaves were just changing. We hope to return in the 'crisp' weather.

A few favorite photos of the day.
