Last night a bunch of us hiked up Pitcher Mt. with great expectation of both a beautiful sunset, and awesome full Corn Moon. We were not disappointed. In fact both were spectacular, and there were some professional photographers up there as well, catching the views. At one point, I stood at the top of the mountain with the Moon to my left, and the Sun to my right. They appeared to be at the same height in the sky. It was as though you could draw a straight line from one to the other. Off in the distance below we could see a large flock of Turkeys in a field. There was some debate whether we were seeing a herd of deer, or turkeys. Of course the deer hunters in the crowd believed the dark spots moving in the field were deer. It was my sister who corrected us, and said that in fact it was a flock of turkeys - killjoy!
After the sunset we hiked back down and drove to Highland Lake where we enjoyed wine, samoa's, and good company by the light of a cozy chimenea. Surprisingly enough, somoa's go quite well with red wine!
