Kilted Hike

[HeathBar]

I'll start things of by suggesting Mt Leconte. It's a good overnight hike.

Now that would be an experience. I read up on this place a few years ago, but had forgotten about it. Now this would be at the top of my list. Thanks SB. Has anyone ever been there before?

all this hiking talk brings this song back to mind, from my days as a camp counsellor in Boy Scouts....


"Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed.
I had a little sip about an hour ago,
and it went straight to my head.

wherever I may roam
o'er land or sea of foam
You'll always hear me singin' this song...
show me the way to go home"

( and the other half of the round )

"Show me the way to my habitual abode
I'm fatigued and desire to retire
I had a little sip sixty minutes ago
and it went straight to my cer-a-bel-um

Wherever I may parambulate
o'er land or sea or atmospheric pressurate
you'll always hear me humming this sweet melody
show me the way to my habitual abode"

(wow..I remembered the whole thing!!)

Leconte is awesome...getting reservations is the trick. They are often booked up one or more years in advance!

That may indeed be a problem. Montreat is more accessable, the wilderness around Leconte may scare the city slickers.
