Sunset Smokies

The Smokies prove their name at Sunset. Photo from top of Whitesides, High Point North Carolina. It's about an hour hike to the summit at 4k some-odd feet. We in Georgia are desperate for altitude. Also, we brought a nice picnic, some sandwiches, orange juice, a bottle of Merlot, and watched the sun go down. The hike down in the dark was a terrible idea, but nothing too bad came of it.
