I\u2019m still working on the 3,000 ft peaks in SC and this group of four was uneventful, almost…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I drove to a spot they call Pretty Place. It\u2019s a chapel set on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Blue Ridge foothills. Even on an overcast day it was impressive. The mountain next to it was Standing Rock. On the trail about \u00bc mile in, I heard some rustling to my side. I stopped and started looking thinking it was a deer. I then heard a sound higher up. A few yards off, about 15\u2019 up in a tree was a black bear staring at me. As soon as I made a move for my camera, it scrambled down the tree showering bark all the way and ran off so quickly I couldn\u2019t get a picture. Never seen a bear in a tree before. It was so cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After summiting Standing Rock, I then went to Little Rich Mountain. There was a nice trail, but with not only a No Trespassing sign, but a sign saying No Hikers. I drove around to another side of the mountain and bushwhacked \u00be mile to the summit. Hah, they can take that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended the day summiting Bradford Mountain and Caesar\u2019s Head, the latter having an impressive view. All in all, it was very good except the spider webs across every trail.
