Hiking On The Appalachian Trail

Another things to scratch off the Bucket List...hiking some of the Appalachian Trail.

But first a little hike down the trail to see the second oldest sycamore tree in the country.

The hiking sticks came in very helpful.

That is one big tree truck!

Walking the ridge.

We met these two hikers.  The one in the back has hiked all but one section of the entire Appalachian Trail.  The other lady joined at Fontana Lake.  They shared dome wild strawberries with us.

My aunt and cousin live in Sylva which is not far away.  They suggested that we try Caffe REL.  Just so happens that the chef and owner trained at The Greenbrair in WV.

Mark had a catfish Reuben.
