Tri-State Peak/Cumberland Trail

We hiked almost 5 miles today in Cumberland Gap.  The redbuds were in full bloom and dogwoods were just beginning to open.  The day was nice enough temperature wise, but the wind was fierce!  And I do mean fierce.  It felt like the temperature dropped 10 degrees when we crossed over the ridge on the Northwest (Kentucky) side.  At other times, it felt very nice.  The hike was pretty uneventful.  There were nice views on both sides of the ridge from Cumberland Trail.  Views that won't be nearly so open in just a couple more weeks when the trees leaf out fully.  We also spotted a grouse and a couple of dear on the trail.  Another in the books for the club.
