Boy, am I tired. I spent my birthday weekend with my Dad and the highlight of the trip was hiking on
Grandfather Mountain. To start the hike we took a quick walk across the
mile high swinging bridge which was too crowded to allow for decent pictures. Then we hiked from the bridge to MacRae Peak, the first of 3 major peaks along the crest of Grandfather. The trail was far more rugged than I expected: "There are chutes where progress is hand-over-hand and some extra steep sections where hikers use in-place cables and ladders." If I hadn't been so terrified, I would have taken pictures of the ladders to prove that I was there.
But enough chit chat, I know you just want to see some pretty pictures.
