Just realized these two great photos didn’t upload yesterday

They were taken after our final hike. Paula had just completed her longest hike (10 miles)
The trees along this part of the AT are primarily deciduous, and primarily oak and hickory. As you hike, acorns and hickory nuts are coming down constantly

The trail passes over the Skyline Drive a couple time a day with some nice views

Some pretty flowers and plants

And a cheerful white blaze

Marching on,
