Each year my brother and his friend, Sam Owens, travel to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a hike and R&R. This year they were able to share pictures daily and I've posted them all here with a brief caption. They left on Wednesday, October 6 and they're returning today, Sunday, October 10. In fact he's already sent a text message that they're on the way (8:30 a.m.). I suppose the trip was preceded by a visit to the famous Pancake Pantry, a place I dearly love but have not been able to visit for many years. Wow, French Toast with homemade cinnamon syrup: it can't be beat!
First here's Sam with some snow showing. Apparently as much as 3" fell in some parts of the mountains.
Here's a view from Mt. LeConte.
