The turning of the leaves changes my blues

ok... so... long summer.... finally over. This must be the feeling people up north get after a long snowy winter. Well the temps are finally down and the humidity isnt attacking with quite the same intensity. I have started a new job working with the Y, I am a youth specialist with my own class of 4th graders. They are perhaps the whiniest group of kids I have ever had to work with, but they are good kids. I have a full set of classes this semester, which will be my last semester pursueing my AA degree before I get into my Bachelors program. I have been riding my bike more in the past week then I had all summer due to the fact that I have no gas in the truck, and I have been needing to get to work... I put in over 50 miles last week, it feels liberating.
I have planned a hiking trip to return to my beloved Pisgah National Forest; a friend and I are hiking the Art Loeb trail starting in the Shining Rock Wilderness and ending at Davidson River Campground, where I stayed when I did the Pisgah Mountain Bike Adventure Race last year. This time the plans are set and the plane tickets are already purchased, so backing out would mean losing money, and a very sad bRiaN. I am really looking forward to spending sometime with mother Earth and just being out in the wild.
I am hoping that this very depressing summer will meet a very happy end in this hiking trip.
