Fall Backpacking Trip

SmokiesJust returned from a trip in the Smoky Mountains, three days of quiet time in the woods. A time to clear my head and my lungs, commune with the critters and escape my troubles.

While on the trail, I met a fellow that had been on the trail for 25 days! I’m deeply envious of this guy, a young biologist from Wisconsin that seems to have his life totally together.

A Barred owl kept us company at night, and I also got to see my first Scarlet Kinglet, although both escaped the camera lens. They’re artful dodgers, masters of their domain.

Pics are here.
