| Our trip began with brunch at Tupelo Honey in Asheville. I love this place! |
 |
| View from the Blue Ridge Parkway |
 |
| Pit stop at Craggy Gardens |
 |
| Craggy Pinnacle Trail, best 360 view on the Blue Ridge Parkway |
 |
| Yay for 3 years!! |
 |
| Happy to see this sign after 5 miles of gravel road with no signs! |
 |
| Our campsite |
 |
| South Toe River, flowed right beside our campsite |
 |
| Mount Mitchell summit, highest point East of the Mississippi River |
 |
| Wild stargazer lillies |
 |
| Setrock Creek Falls at the campground |
 |
| Cole made some great fires to cook our food on! |
 |
| HoBo packs...these were our favorite thing we made! |
 |
| Banana Boats for dessert. We wrapped these in tin foil and let it all melt over the fire and ate it with a spoon. |
 |
| Day 2, slept in and then hiked the big mountain |
 |
| We made it! Exhausted after 6 miles straight uphill! It was cold up here! |
 |
| Unfortunately, this rolled in. It made for a wet few minutes on the descent...glad it was short-lived! |
 |
| We should have heeded this advice! |
 |
| After 12 miles of hiking, this was extra special! |
 |
| Apricot-glazed pork chops... Cole ate 4 of them plus a leftover hobo pack! The hike must have worked up an appetite! |
 |
| Orange Muffins |
 | ||
| Probably our least favorite thing we made...orange peels burned a little in the coals so the muffins had a very strong orange zesty flavor. Still good to eat, but next time I will put them on the rack instead of on the coals. |
