This week we will be hiking the Bucksprings trail to the Pisgah Inn and back. After our hike, we plan on stopping by the Broad Street Wine shop (just down from O P Taylors on Broad St) for a wine tasting from 4 – 6 PM. All proceeds will benefit the Almost Home Dog Rescue. Next Friday we will get back on schedule with our hike on the Mt Mitchell to Walker Knob trail. Meet at the Ranger Station at 8:45 for a 9:00 start. Please RSVP victor.zona@sbcglobal.net if you plan on hiking.

Weather: Cloudy with a high temp in the mid 40°s. The temperature at the hike’s start around 33° and a 20% chance of snow. Winds 5 – 10 mph.
