"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

NoBo AT Week-long Section HikeYeah, Sassafras came about 3/4 of the way through our day and required a pretty good tug to get up. I LOVED the red columbine blooming everywhere and the dripping, mossy springs.

AT NoboMet a group of Army Rangers while I was going up, or rather, while I was leaning against a rock munching a granola bar and they were humping 16s and a SAW. "He's got the right idea" is what one said.
