Sometimes the #appalachiantrail looks like this. That white stuff is hail, folks. #Hail Quite the storm yesterday hiking up Roan Mountain. Afterwards there were places the hall piled up ankle high. Just another day on #at2015

“…fair are the woodlands, robed in flowers of blooming spring…” This spread of white fringed phacelia ran on along both sides of the Trail for at least half a mile, maybe longer, coming down north of Big Bald. #at2015
