Beautiful green hike down to the NOC this morning (which looks familiar, I think we might have stopped here on a family road trip as kids?) then a long climb up to Sassafrass Shelter just before the rains hit. P.S. My hiking friend Songbird and her husband are folk musicians! Their band is The Honey Dewdrops, check em out on YouTube sometime P.P.S Songbird also gave me my trail name yesterday. Tell ya soon.
