This is one of my life's goal to visit all of the highest peaks in each of the fifty states in the USA and it's territories. I am lucky enough to have April, Paisley and now Scout as well as a cast of great friends and family that tag along and share in this journey with me.

Black Mountain, Kentucky
4,145 Feet
dec. 29th 2006


this one was a beast. we scooted around ky. in pooh's jetta this trip and this "drive up " was too much for a vwub. we got up early friday morning to get a jump on the day and got to the mt. before the sun came up. We forgot about the snow and ice! the jetta couldn't make it up the first incline, freakin poohster out being in ice. so we hoofed it! not so bad we love hiking in the snow. as the sun came up it hit the snow and it twinkled like a movie. we giggled and talked and threw snow at each other, I love our snow hikes. we saw the FAA tower and then ky threw up on its highest peak. this is one of the yuckiest highest peaks. radio towers, a busted fire tower, not even the snow made it any better. I am glad we got to hike up that was the best part, just driving up ='s blahhhhh.
