A Fall Day in Cumberland Gap

We drove south and east to the Cumberland Gap today - a wonderful trip in beautiful fall weather. I've been so afraid that we missed fall entirely, but clearly that was not the case. The color was wonderful, the views clear and crisp, the company (Mark) entertaining and endearing as always.

But into each life a little rain must fall... I had two nearly dead batteries - the main and the spare both! Can't believe I didn't manage to recharge at least one of them. So the side trip to Pine Mountain and the beautiful hike to Chain Rock went undocumented. Alas. Since that trail was straight down and then (obviously) straight back up, there would have been plenty of time for pictures too, as we sat on conveniently placed benches to catch our breath!
