    Nice report and great photos. Brings back memories from '07, except we had snow and no leaves.

    Almost forgot, the guy that I hike with is diabetic and has recently set up a foundation encouraging and setting an example of how to remain active and live an active lifestyle with diabetes. Check out the website if you have any interest.

    Very nice report Yosef! I hiked the Big Creek trail to Swallow Fork up to Deep Gap Shelter a couple of yrs. ago and this just makes me want to go back! Thanks for taking us along vicariously.

    Yea the origional plan was to come back along big creek and do some fly fishing that last day but the campsites along the creek were all closed b/c of bears and we had to amend. Mt. Sterling was very cool though just wish I could have had a clear morning to watch the sun come up. I went up the tower at 5:30 but couldn't see 100 yards in any direction.

    Happy to share my trip I love reading others reports and it is a big help when I am planning a trip to an area and there is a trip report on here already posted. It makes trip planning much easier.
