I found pictures of my North Carolina trip.... enjoy.
Airplane Stupidity
I'm always amazed by how when the seatbelt sign goes on everyone immediately stands up despite the fact that you have to wait for another ten minutes.
Conachey...

Ben and Sara
They paced us on the trail. Nice couple.
Me on the Tower at Sunset
This picture does no justice whatsoever to how beautiful it was up there.

A opening in the trail
The valley we stopped in for lunch

Getting start on day two
Our second campsite
This was my least favorite, maybe influenced by my need to build a cathole there
The Second Bald
I forget what it was called, it started with a W.
The Trail
Silar Bald
It was beautiful up there
Silar Bald
Silar Bald was our first bald
Snow!
We were high enough up there was snow on the ground in the morning
Me Upset
...because I couldn't get out waht I wanted to
Waiting for the potty
Our First Campsite
It was pretty nice, little crowded.
Me Drinking the Cleaning Water.
We all took turns... no soap in it... but everyone's fingers had been. And dirty forks. It was a mixture of all left overs as well. Yum.
