Temps near zero over the past few days have transformed the last week's snowfall into an icy landscape. Tonight's full moon created a sparkly twilight.

Snow Day!
It's been a while since the High Country has seen a still, heavy snowfall of any kind. A system from the Gulf delivered a healthy amount of the white stuff last night (4.5 inches by my measurement).

Under a Rock
I was looking for a cave with caveman drawings on Saturday, but I instead found an old landmark on the old Proffitt place up Elk Creek that they call the Rock House.
It's a massive rock perched on a few smaller boulders, creating enough room for five or six people to sit under comfortably. It must have been a great place to play as a kid and a magical place to sit next to a small campfire. It sits up on a little knoll at the foot of Black Mountain and is much like the Rock Cliff on my grandparents old farm on toward the Bald. The rocks are the same material; I'm no rockhound so I have no idea what it's called.
