Finishing at The Swag

After six unbroken days and nights of rain, the sun finally came out for the weekend!  We have not been hiking all week, but, finally Saturday was a hiking day.

A good picnic day at Gooseberry Knob.

 The Saturday picnic got to be outside at Gooseberry Knob instead of inside as it had to be on Wednesday. Afterwards we had a lovely hike back around the nature trail and by the Swag Pond. It was then a beautiful afternoon to spend the rest of the day outdoors.

We are at 5,000 fee elevation here and often look out on top of the clouds.

This afternoon I brought the car up where we could begin to pack for leaving in the morning.  It has been parked in the trees behind our house all week.  When I got it, you could see that a bear had visited!  There were two large paw prints on the engine hood and a big muddy belly mark across the grill.  Glad it didn’t jump up on top!

Bear prints on the car.  Glad we didn’t meet it in the night.
