Day hike to Grayson to see the PONIES





On Friday July 3rd, the family decided to take a day hike to Grayson Highlands to see the poines. Several ponies have given birth the last few months and there were some real small ones. Could not have asked for a better day. It was 90 at home but high 60's/low 70's there.
Hannah loved the ponies every time she has gone. I knew they were there so I had to take her there since I will be leaving on the 7th for 2 weeks in Philmont. We had lunch on top of the rocks just short of Rhododendren Gap. It was probably only a 5 or 6 mile hike roundtrip but was well worth it. The ponies are always cool to watch. Lots of other folks were there too. It was also a chance for me to look at water sources for the big trip with the Scouts in late August. Looks like the water sources will be good for that trip.
