Sawnee Mountain is 15 minutes from my house.
When it's warm I take the kids up there after work to climb on the rocks and "see the whole world". Today I even got Kathryn to come with us.
The girls are getting strong and fast. We made quick time up the Indian Seats Trail.
Sawnee Mountain is covered in Yucca Plants. I can't imagine that they're native. The upper elevations are composed of loose, deteriorated granite and the Yucca's seem to love it.
The Indian seats. Empty and occupied.
"The whole world." I think technically Sawnee is the southernmost Appalachian mountain. But, when it's clear out, you can see across the piedmont to Blue Ridge, where they really start in earnest.
Kathryn hung out while the kids and I climbed around on the rocks.
Daylight was fading so we got going.
We found a tiny black "circle head" (non-poisonous) snake with on the way back. Iz actually stepped on it, but didn't hurt it. I didn't even think to get a pic.
The kids played on the playground for a few minutes.
And then we ate at Chili's.
