Early morning view looking down at Watauga Lake from Vandeventer Shelter.
There were a lot of blown down trees along the trail leading up to Vandeventer Shelter, but past the shelter, many of them had been cleared. This is an example of what could have been on the trail--that tree was 20" in diameter at its widest section!
There's a spider in there.
The welcoming committee at Shook Branch Road, just where you head up to the Boots Off Hostel.
