Sand Cave, Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, KY. October 30, 2010.

Did an eight mile round trip hike today with a coworker and her husband. We started out bright and early and I really felt it in my body. I wasn't as out of shape as I feared though. The weather was great and the park was peaceful. We stopped at the visitor center as my friend had never been to this park before. I really love this park, and it is so much less crowded than the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I did squeeze in one more day of fishing. Did Metcalf Bottoms this afternoon, (Sunday). Winter is soon coming to the mountains. The water temp is barely 50 and the leaves are off the trees for the most part. I probably will hang up my gear for a while. I might do a Hiwassee trip now and then if the weather cooperate. Time to do housework, maintenance around the house and some hiking.
