Pilot Mountain 03/07/09

It has been a beautiful day today! Last Saturday we had rain and cold temperatures leading up to our big snow on Sunday night...today we had highs of 79 and tons of sunshine! We went to Pilot Mountain for a while, and I snapped more pictures. Since I've already posted one's of the mountain itself, these are of some of the sites on the mountain...

Welcome to Pilot Mountain....


Some of the big boulders on the side of the mountain...


I mentioned trees growing out of rocks in another Pilot Mountain post...here is a picture that really shows it...there is maybe a handful of dirt at the base of this tree, which comes straight out of a crevasse in a rock...


Climbing rocks...most people climb up and sit on top to pose for pictures...it's a beautiful spot.


FPTA - Future Pine Trees of America....this is the beginning of the next generation of pines on Pilot Mountain....


One of the fences that border certain areas of the park...


Another of the big boulders, with some type of lichen on it...




Moss on the mountain...

Another rock with interesting life growing on it...
