How nature has a way of changing your plans. Due to ice on the back roads and road construction on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Mitchell was inaccessible. So on to Kentucky. We drove from Atlanta to a coal mining town in Virginia. And right across the border in Kentucky was the road to the top. Black Mountain is an active coal mine, so hiking on the mountain is not allowed. We spent more time at the top trying to find the USGS marker, but we never did because of snowcover. Tomorrow we hike Mount Rogers, VA
