Mighty Mount Mitchell

Mt. Mitchell is the highest point east of the Mississippi at about 6400 feet. Carol & Mike's home in Rio Dosa is a thousand feet higher. The views are spectacular and we took a walk on a nature trail through the dense upper elevation vegatation. Still snow and ice in the woods up here. The trail to the very top was closed for repairs and Dana refused to go around the barrier. We stopped at the Southern Craft Guild shop on the Blue Ridge Pkwy, which was very interesting, then into Asheville for a late lunch. Got home and lit our first campfire of the trip. It was a beauty. San Antonio better be careful with this Denver team. They might be able to focus on winning for 5 or 6 games. Off to Knoxville today. Ciao
