On top of the world


One gets that sense from many locations scattered around 137,000 acres (214 sq mi). This is Sawmill Camp, where staff described that morning's sunrise as spectacular. On their last day there, they weren't about to miss it! A wonderfully spiritual group of loggers.
I think I mentioned this is 9280 feet above sea level. Scouts from Florida and New Jersey and yes, North Carolina, have considerable altitude adjustment. Every now and then, at 6700 ft here in base camp, I find myself taking in several deep breaths - catching up. I hear the air is a little, uh, thicker in NC.
