Brasstown Bald

My sister Michele, her boyfriend Galen, Ben, Luke and I recently took a nice day trip to hike up Brasstown Bald, the highest peak in GA. It was pleasantly cool and windy despite the bright. We tried to carry Luke up most of the way in the hiking pack, but he’s nearly two, so independence asserts itself all the time and he wanted to walk part of the path himself. The views from the top quickly make up for any strains along the way. You can see plainly the inspiration for the name of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
