Last post from the NC mountains

When Tracy and Kreg come over for a while, they bring their cat Sweetie. Tell me she's not the cat's meow !!
Just when the snow starts to melt...
it snows some more.
Scrapping ice and snow.
A visit to the NC mountains would not be complete without a trip to a Christmas tree farm.  This one is up the road from Tracy in Bakersville (and next 3 photos)



Last Thursday (Jan. 14th) Tracy and I went for a trek up to Round Bald, which is the left of Carver's Gap along the NC/Tenn. border. Roan Mountain is to the right.
Climbing up...
A view from the top of Round Bald looking east.
Looking SW

Tracy enjoying the view.  Looking west with Mt. Mitchell in the background.
Father and daughter pose for a photo.
I guess this is the official top of Round Bald - 5,826'

We will be leaving the mountains this coming Saturday (Jan. 23rd).  We will be back in Durham and Fuquay Varina for a few days, than to Delaware for a week or so to visit my family.  After that...find out on the next post.
