On our New Year visit to North Carolina to see my daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Steven, we spent an afternoon taking a hike up Crowders Mountain. It is nice to do that in January in North Carolina, something we couldn’t do in Michigan, at least not in our shorts and working up a sweat.

Had a great lunch at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen in Belmont on way back home
We took 3 hour trip On the trail Closer to the top Group Photo at top Charlotte in the distance No one died on our watch
