Along the Appalachian Trail

We had a great time in South Carolina for Spring Break, though the weather wasn't what we'd hoped for! The girls and I found the overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where we stopped last year. I thought we might get blown off the mountainside! They hooped and hollered halfway up a flight of stone steps to the overlook, then ran screaming down afraid of the wind. Mercedes worried for a while about the two hikers we passed in the parking lot who were hitching a ride - she was afraid they were homeless and without food. They looked pretty scruffy - who knows how long they'd been hiking. I'd've ended up giving them a ride, I'm sure, but there wasn't a free inch of space in the station wagon.
