Carolina Mountain Club Challenges:- 100 Favorite Trails, Shortoff Mountain
We joined Paul & Phyllis today who needed to hike Shortoff Mountain for the 100 Favorite Trails Challenge. This is Glen & my 4th time hiking this trail. We love it that much. Photos don't do it justice. We got there early before parking became busy. It was a cold windy day. We saw lots of people backpacking! I do want to do an overnight here sometime.

| We think these white things were frog eggs. Lots of clumps of them in the pond. |
 |
There were literally thousands of tadpoles.
So many they looked liked piles of leaves in the water.
All along the water's edge.
