Clingman's snowy peak

Nancy with Jeff and Margot's truck after our slow 4WD crawl to the top of Clingman's Peak to collect data and water from the NADP rain gauge station on January 27. It wasn't anything like this at home, but Clingman's is over 6,000 feet, so the climate is a wee bit different up there.

Celo Inn Buckeye lives on

Pablo sent this picture with a note that said, "The Celo Inn Buckeye lives on. 900 Board Feet of Celo Inn Buckeye is now milled and stacked and stickered back at the Inn within a few feet of where it stood."
