Hiking recap

May 26: some days on the trail are just magic! Like the pony day. Or for a brief window on our descent into Fontana Dam when the sun shined golden through the trees and the three hiker chicks had to just stop and stare. Today was a magic day.
It started out freezing- I started hiking in a fleece! The steady uphill cured me of my cold and shed me ofy fleece. Subaru, Road Runner and I prettying kept pace with each other till our first break at Bailey Gap Shelter. There we reunited with other hikers we had been leap frogging with. Acorn, Stinkbug and Honeybun, Sideshow, Wolverine, Dorothy. And for the rest of day. We all seemed to break at the same places near the same time.

We saw some stunning views.

We hit trail magic THREE times! Trail magic always makes everything better.

Papa G: our trail Angel and supplier of sodas.
Near the end of the day, we crossed Kelly Knob, which had some spectacular views.

And Dorothy, our hiker/yoga instructor, struck the bird of paradise pose on the knob.

(Road Runner looks pretty impressed)
All in all, it was a perfect mix of good hiking, good views, good hospitality, and good friends. Life on the trail is good.
