Hiking into the Mist

Family

Yesterday we met friends Tim and Vickie at Newfound Gap. They began hiking the Appalachian Trail at Springer Mountain in Georgia on March 15th and plan to through hike to Mt Katahdin, Maine. We lunched with them at a restaurant in Cherokee then took them to a laundromat (since our laundry equipment is disconnected). Then we brought them back to our house for hot showers, dinner on the deck, and a night’s rest in a real bed. This morning we took them back to Newfound Gap in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The temperature was chill, the wind brisk, and the fog like pea soup. What’s worse, the weather forecast calls for snow over the next couple of days. What an adventure!

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
