And I took the road less traveled....

...and that has made all the difference.  Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets, and so appropriate is this poem that I was able to live out this past weekend. My outdoor husband James took me backpacking on a section of the Appalachian Trail. We have been reading books about the trail for months, but I've never hiked past 5 miles anywhere, especially not up and down a mountain. We hiked from Carver's Gap, NC to Mountain Harbor Bed and Breakfast on Roan Mountain, Tenn. It was almost 20 miles, filled with steep inclines, declines, and rocks. Lots and lots of rocks! Plus some of the most breathtaking views ever seen. There is nothing better than getting to the top of a mountain and seeing a glimpse of heaven with the one you love. No bears this time, but there is always next time! Wait, did I just say I might do this again??????
