The First Day of Hiking

So he's on the mountain. Amazingly enough I was able to talk to him twice on the cell phone. The walkie talkies we bought just in case the cell phone didn't work have not worked yet. Go figure. So in a little bit I will be leaving to go pick him up at the extraction point. That is provided I make it down the hill out of the park and up the hill to get him. The park is nice but I am freezing. It is in the 60's but it is cloudy and cool. I want my sunshine back. Beau is surviving and likes the cooler weather. Yesterday we drove to Springer mountain so I would know where to go to pick up Jim today. We had to drag Beau off the trail and back to the van. Maybe he is a mountain dog. If I can get connected again I'll let you know how the first hike went. If not then you'll hear from us tomorrow when I am at the Lodge again. That is where I am now which has me thinking why aren't we staying here instead of the van??? Something to keep in mind for the next trip.
