Well, today was the second annual Thanksgiving Weekend Hike. Last year Glen and I hiked to Rich Mountain Fire Tower. Well this year we were in the area of Hot Springs, again, and traveled to one of the best spots in the southern Appalachian Mountains, Max Patch. We went up from the Tennessee side and it was an icy drive. Once we got to the mountain it still had plenty of snow. We hiked about 2.5 miles, most of it on the AT, including the spectacular summit of Max Patch with 360° views of the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. We came back down the North Carolina side and went to Hot Springs. This small town has the AT going right down Main Street. We went to a number of little shops and at Bluff Mountain Outfitters I finally found the Greenville, SC raised relief map that includes the North Georgia Mountains. I have been looking for this for two years. Overall it was a great day and I will write more about my two trips to Max Patch soon.
