A much better week after Friday...

As you can imagine, the rest of the trip was not thankfully sullied by the Friday from Hell.

We got to the cabin Saturday afternoon. You switchback up, up up the mountain and it's balanced there on the left, half banked in, half on stilts. The parking was even scarier than the roads, though: a small space, just enough for the car, at a 30+ degree incline, pointed toward the deck railing and the 40 foot drop beyond. Why I didn't photograph it was beyond me. But here's the view from the great room and one from the deck of Mount LeConte.

The first night all we wanted to do was soak it all in, as evidenced below.
