This shot was taken with a Yeshica Mat 124(G). Best guess 1995, somewhere on the Appalachian Trail in NC. As you can see I'm a stickler for record keeping...:)
It was a gorgeous morning in the Mount Rogers/ Wilburn Ridge Area on Wednesday morning! Sorry I haven't posted on flickr in a while, my computer doesn't do well with the new format. I have been posting on my facebook photography page under Brent McGuirt Photography, so please check out my page over there to see what I've been up to!
This is a really old shot that I could not find the original file to, so I had to screen shot save this from my Lightroom library. It isn't the best quality by any means but I really just loved the view and more or less wanted to upload it for my own documentation of the travels in my past...sometimes it's simply about the memories...
Hiking the Appalachian Trail
I went back to the Sandhills Gamelands in Richmond County, NC, to find some individuals with their mature colors.

A candidate for the title of Mountain Laurel Queen rides in the 94th annual Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival parade.
The trip was worth it for this shot alone. I like to think this is the sort of view that the early settlers would have had when they travelled down the great valley of the Smokies, alongside the Iroquois and the Cherokee Warrior Path, etc, and realised that the hardships had been worthwhile after all.
Virtually SOOC.
The Appalachian Trail is a continuous marked footpath that goes from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia, a distance of about 2160 miles. Many trace the origins of the Trail to a 1921 article by Benton MacKaye entitled An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning.

Some interesting trivia:
The trail is over twice as long as the UK end to end.
2,500 hikers start the trail each year and only about 10 percent complete it.
It generally takes 5 to 7 months to complete.
This picture depicts some of the easier parts of the trail. Much of the trail is along high mountain ridges.
Each hiker usually spends between a a dollar and half to two dollars and a half for each mile they walk.

The intersection of the Appalachian (white) Trail and the Three Lakes (blue) Trail. I've passed through this junction earlier but via the blue trail. This time I am returning to my starting point using the white trail.
One of the most photographed spots along the 2000+ mile Appalachian trail.

An impressive and intact remains of a millstone sits in this brook. I am guessing there used to be a gristmill around here at some point.
