These pictures are of two locations I have hiked on numerous occasions.

The first set are of an overnight trip to Mt. LeConte with Friends of the Smokies. Charles Maynard was our trip leader. The second sets are of the Fire Tower on Mt. Cammerera that was rennovated by Friends of the Smokies. I made four trips up there before during and after the rennovation.
