Buck Springs Trail





This morning we had brilliant blue skies, a brisk wind and a temperature of 38 degrees. The hike attracted thirteen (13) hikers due to having lunch at the end of the hike at the Pisgah Inn. The Pisgah Inn is on the Blue Ridge Parkway and is only open from May thru October. Here are some pictures from the Blue Ridge Parkway looking east.

After getting to the Pisgah Inn around 12:45pm the place was overcrowded with tourist's driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. There must have been over 35 people waiting in line for the restaurant. We put our name on the wait list, but after 45 minutes everyone wanted to eat, since we hiked over six miles up the mountain. The regulars from Champion Hills knew exactly where to go. We ended up in Brevard (10 minute drive) and ate at a great place called the Hobnob. The restaurant is a converted old house and the food was great. Since everyone was hungry, we would have liked anything they had. We got home at 4:00pm and had a good nap. Great way to start the week !!
