Went on one of my more difficult hikes today, set off in rain but finished in sunshine !

The trail was like an obstacle course all the way up !



Here I am blowing like a loco, ya soon warm up on this trail......



At last a level section, I have been training Snicker ( T.T ) to return when I blow my Jet Scream whistle........



The level section didn't last long, here are two more examples of how gnarly the trail is........





Incase ya wondering what knife I took it was my Swampwarden, I tried to travel light today......



Near the top I bumped into these pretty girls, well actually it was T.T who decided to jump all over them ! They didn't know what a Scandi Grind was and had never heard of Horace Kephart so I went on my way !!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />



More to come !

We soon arrived at the highest spot, TT got there first !



At the top there is this large body of water, here is a pic I took of the reflection in the water......



This was where I stopped to drink my tea. While having my tea I noticed these guys swimming around in the water, they are either Newts or Salamanders.....



Maisy is looking a little tired in this pic, she ain't getting any younger bless her.....



TT could have done the walk twice over....



By now the sun had come out and so the wool shirt had to come off......



Another of the view........



And one final one looking out toward the water....

looks great, pit. soak it up for us.

Aweosme pics. I didn't see you got a new doggy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That some beautiful country & Dogs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Awesome pictures and looks like a great time as usual with a man's best friend! It starting to look beautiful out there too.

Beautiful country and pictures, pitman. Kephart aside, a few closer shots of the pretty girls would be fine with me. Beauty is beauty. It's not like you went to that gay mountain seed talks about, is it?

Nice pics dude! I gotta get out to the woods myself.

great pics, and yes i was wondering what knife you took with you
Thanks

GReat pics - Wish we had mountains. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Breath taking, that is all I have to say.

Thanks for sharing pit.....ahhh I needed a bresh of fresh air from the matrix.

breath ,.......errr

I gotta get to your part of the world someday, Pit. That's some purty territory! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great pics too!!!

Those are some beautiful pictures, that area is gorgeous! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great Pic's as ever, Pit!

Sweet pics!!!

We truly do have some beautiful terrain here eh Pitman? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

AWESOME pics again Pit. Thanks as always again for posting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I had not noticed you mentioning your new dog. Congrats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Still good to see Maisy, but she looks like she put on some winter weight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

I am with Vic on this. I am happily married with a GREAT wife who is a great friend and very attractive to me.

And while I am not looking "FOR" anything, I also agree beauty is beauty. And while some try to deny themselves certain beauties in the world. I like to "View it as Good Scenery"!!!! And I can NEVER get enough "Good Scenery"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful Views of beautiful things make life MUCH better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />



On the other hand, I can see where it might be a bit awkward to stumble across some girls at the top of a mountain hike and start snapping a bunch of pictures of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> .... oh well.

.
