The Trail, Steps, Mts., TOP, The Forgotten, and Railroad Tie Nails

Well, I did something I never thought

I would be doing, something I 

never really gave a lot of thought

to at all. I walked the Appalachian 

Trail. 

 

Oops, I might hve not told

that last statement

correctly,

I walked a MILE

of the trail.

Yep, just a mile, but look

at me, 

A MILE,

UP HILL

and 

DOWN HILL.

On each side of the top of the trail,

there were steps, steep steps at

times. So steep that stepping down

to the other was a challenge for 

this short lady!

But man was it pretty at the 

very, tippy top of Max Patch NC.

When I say very TOP, I mean

I was  approximately 4,626–4,629

 feet (1,410–1,411 meters) above sea level.

Beautiful.

Look at the view, and that

is why they call them the 

Blue Ridge Mts.

I was not alone in my trip to 

the top, 

my sil, Lori was with me.

Ray's allergies were messing with him

so, he stayed in the car and napped.

This is mine and Lori's 

prove we were there.

Got a tad windy for

a min there.

Going down the hill the 

talking had stopped, and 

I threw the camera up over

my shoulder to check to see if

Lori was still with me...

LOL, not really, just

wanted this shot.

After the trail we were

heading back to cabin when we

stopped behind an old general 

store. Lots of flooding here

in this area since this sits 

right on the river.

We took at walk back behind the 

old place to a graveyard.

Graveyard of

TRUCKS.

Favorite shot of the day,

truck peeping out from behind

a tree.

Also made it home with about six

to eight or so railroad tie

nails!
