Katharine and myself caught the itch to get out of town so we took a little 18 mile loop up to McAffe Knob. It was hot and dry during the day and awesome at night and in the morning, but the air was always fresh and strong. After eating lunch at Tinkers we took a break and had a deer gaze upon us curiously and come graze 10 feet from us. I can't remember the last time, if ever, that I have had an odorific event with a deer, her scent palpable. She was a skinny thing. Soon after we witnessed some vulture's getting it on.
Just never know what you are going to witness in the woods. The trip was great though, I can't wait to get back to Blacksburg this fall.

love the picture of you on the trail with your poles and gear looking off at the journey to come -- oh, did you correctly identify the snake?
Wow..... it's so impressive. You have got awesome photos from your trip.
definitely a timber rattler
