Pilot Mountain 9/15/07

Have you ever had one of those days? Well, I've had one of those weekends :-(
After a morning road trip to Raleigh for a work-related event, I made a last-minute
decision to join a couple of folks who had posted that they'd be at Pilot Mountain
on Saturday afternoon. Apparently plans changed or there was some miscommunication.
Alas, I used the time to take some photos!

(Thanks to the nice folks from Tumblebees who offered me a belay....
though I was too tired from all the hiking and searching to take them up on it!)
I'll wait here for my friends..

Still waiting. Perhaps I shall go look for them.

But there was this sign. I walked the trail twice!
