Some of our dearest friends, Layne and Kristy were here visiting us a couple of weeks ago . We took them to the top of Viking Mountain and walked down to and then for a brief stint on the Appalachian Trail with Grandson, Asher and younger son, Tim. They snapped a photo of us two old fogies with Tim, Asher and our dog Polly, at the top of Viking Mountain. In the distance behind us is the town of Greeneville. It was a beautiful day and we had a nice walk. The A.T. goes right through the mountains behind us. Notice Asher is the youngest one in the group and the ONLY ONE with a trekking pole! Polly loves to go walking with us in the mountains...especially if there's any water. Being mostly Chocolate Lab and part Boykin Spaniel, she loves water. She's a strong swimmer and will hunt and chase sticks until she could drop! She's a fun dog.
