Monday morning, headed out to craggy gardens http://www.romanticasheville.com/Craggy.htm, and hiked up a mountain. the trail was only about .80 miles, but it was one of the toughest trails ever. I think its because of the thin air at the top of the mountain. picked some tiny sweet blueberries while i was up there too. after the hike, we were planning on going to hike the highest mountain, mount...

Tue-Wed 6-7/3/2007 D32-33The keyboard I'm using here isn't working that well (S's and D's are a bit tricky), so expect typos Kumily is not a particularly attractive place to stay in. I can't think of a reason, other than visiting the Periyar Sanctuary, why anybody would choose to come here. There's really nothing here. The (long-ish) road from the town centre to the park...
