PT, the Tom and I trekked off for a wee hike this past Saturday. We did a very small section of the Mountains to Sea Trail then cut across to Devil’s Courthouse and walked back down the Parkway to the Jeep. All-in-all it was a great hike. There wasn’t nearly as much snow as I thought there would be … but what can ya do? I took quite a few photo with my snazzy new point and shoot Canon. Yeah. I bought another camera. I found that the Digital Rebel was just a wee too cumbersome to cart around on long distances through the woods. More photos are inside, of course.

PT shot this as we took a rest break overlooking NC Hwy. 215.

This is the Devil’s Courthouse as seen from our lunch spot.

Here’s my Nalgene bottle filled with refreshing water! Mmmm.

PT, Tom and myself just off the steep trail to the Devil’s Courthouse.

This is a view from the top of the Courthouse.

Three markers at the summit provide a map of the surrounding mountains. There are great views all around.

More mountain views from the peak.

Seen here are Tom and PT walking down the Parkway which was closed.
