dragon's tooth

Here are a few pictures of our hike on the Appalachian Trail to Dragon's Tooth. At the top it is very steep and rocky. We were thrilled to see the dogs as well as ourselves climb some of the rock faces. It was only five miles but seemed longer because the temperatures were in the 100's plus the southern humidity was killing us. But we had to do it because we weren't coming back to the Appalachians anytime soon. Having the Rhododendron blooming helped distract us from our exhaustion. Zayne is on the Dragon's Tooth in the second to last picture.

Howdy
Great job climbing. Is that the old stomping ground? Near Catwaba, or another tooth? When do ya head west? I made a blog, and updated with a story with a bang. Really wasn't our fault, or was it?? We are learning not to take friends to high places, if they can't move fast. Sounds bad I know, but its for all our safety.

Take Care, stay safe

Impressive!

I can just feel the humidity, though, coming through the pictures, and that makes it all the more impressive. Great job to everyone!
