8/8/2015 Loop around Mt Mitchell and a little bit of MTS Trail just off of 128 near the Parkway. It was a Misty Mountain Hop kind of day.

Boyd is going out to the Rockies for an Elk hunt in about a month and he asked me to help him get ready for the high elevations out west. The best we can do for elevation training around here is the Black Mtn Crest. I invited Jon to join us on the hike. Jon is one of the new engineers at Conti,originally from Sweeden who also likes hiking and is eager to discover some of the local hikes. Everyone knows how I like to share the special places!
