Yes we enjoyed some great hiking today in north GA..  We got very lucky with the weather..always a big factor.  Despite the forecast changing repeatedly during the days preceding  (cloudy, snow, rain, cloudy, partly sunny), we ended up with almost totally clear deep blue skies.

We took in the views from Bell Knob and then headed over to nearby Eagle Mountain for the main event.  We were pleasantly surprised to find some fairly deep snow on the mountain (see pics)...started at about 3500 feet and when we reached the top, it was three of four inches deep.   We had a relaxing lunch, enjoying the views towards the southwest,  and then headed down....finishing right at dark.   So another very memorable hike....can't beat the mountains on a beautiful winters day.
