Have not updated in awhile - but we have been busy little hikers during this month. In our last post, we mentioned that we had started at Springer Mountain. Since then, we have done Blood Mountain, Hawk Mountain, and today Sassafras Mountain. We have now hiked a total of 38 miles! Today's hike was one of the most difficult - 3.8 miles virtually straight up. Sarah was strong for the whole hike, and kept her senior citizen parents going by cutting up and making jokes. We were treated to encounters with deer and a box turtle, who had taken up residence in the middle of the access road! Sarah graciously repositioned the turtle to the shoulder - probably extending his life span by at least several days! One of the gaps we came through today was called Horse Gap, so appropriately, we have Sarah's picture in front of the sign.
