Shortoff in the distance

The clock skipped forward an hour, the sandals once again grace our feet, and so we emerge from our enclosed wood and drywall nests to sleep outside again! This weekend's trip into the Linville Wilderness was, as Matt says, "the perfect camping trip, where even the fire lights itself". We were able to watch the sunset while cooking dinner and the sunrise while eating breakfast from our perch on Sitting Bear.


(Here's a beautiful profile of Grandfather Mountain.)


We also hiked down to the river and back to the car before the forecasted rains came down. It was a little trip, but a fun break between school weeks.
