We're headed out for another day of hiking. It's our last full day on this trip. How time flies! The day started on a downbeat note, though. The weather forecast called for clouds most of the day— presumably an effect of Hurricane Ophelia that made landfall in North Carolina a few hours ago!
Fortunately for us the hurricane made landfall at the southeastern tip of the state around 6am today and headed mostly north. We're well to the west. And those morning clouds covering our hotel when we left 45 minutes ago? Once we drove into the hills west of town we found that the clouds are only hanging in valleys. Even slightly higher up there's beautiful sun. And now even the valley fog seems to be burning off. We're now looking forward to great weather this last full day of hiking in North Carolina!
