Hello GES!

on 16 April 2009

Hi everyone, Mr DeVoe and I have had a wonderful trip so far. We've
seen 2 snakes, a salamander, a turkey, several grouse, and tons of
birds and wildflowers. We'll post pictures soon.

This is me atop Standing Indian Mtn, the tallest mountain on the
southern part of the trail. The first few days were pretty cold. I
spent most of the day burried deep in Mr DeVoe's pack where it is
warm. I really enjoy reading everyone's comments so please keep them
coming and I'll try to answer questions in my next post.

I've learned a lot since leaving the library. The people down here are
very nice. While eating in restaurants, locals will come up and say
things like "you boys hikin' the trail? That there mountain you'll be
climbin' tomarra was named after my great gran-daddy after he got shot
in the civil war." Everyone is so friendly and go out of their way to
be nice, much like how we should all be. Well I hope you all enjoy
being back in school. Make sure you try your hardest and keep checking
our site. Tomorrow we enter the Great Smoky Mountains and I need to go
make a playlist that'll get Mr DeVoe up the tallest mountain in the
east. Bye for now.

Hi Skoob and Mr. DeVoe,

How are you doing? Will you please post more pictures and videos! We are doing well at the elementary school.

What kind of bears were the ones who scratched at your bear proof cannister? When will your friend Kevin and his dog Lucy join you?

Sincerely,
Mrs. Week's class

Hi from Mrs. V's class! We hope you are having a wonderful trip. We read about the bears Mr. DeVoe saw. Did you see them too? You are lucky you didn't loose your food. What kind of snakes did you see, Rattlesnakes? Have you climbed the highest mountain in the east yet? Do you think you are going to finish the trail earlier than you thought?

Hi Skoob,

We are wondering how you are doing. What was louder, the snorer or the bears? Did you see the bears and were you scared? How big were they?

Hi Skoob,

Do you pick any of the flowers you see? Did the snoring wake you up too? Do you see any deer while you are hiking? Have you seen any more bears after the night they tried to take your food? One person in our class has made and slept in a lean-to like you sleep in at night.
And some of us have been hiking in the woods. Please keep writing to tell us what all you see.
