hiking in the fall, there's an ache like no other. emma and i would go with our parents. pisgah forest, hanging rock. rhododendron flowers, huge boulders, spring water. in the fall the leaves would pool up, making it easy to slip. 

​

(when are we going back to many pines? i miss it there. could you ask larry and bev if we could stay?) 

​

when was the last time i was there?

when will i be back in the mountains again?
