@888rachel you live in a state where there is LOTS of rain ( most years) and you either hike in the rain or you never move your body...or worse yet you live in a smelly gym!
@jgpittenger Such an Oregon comment! My nephew has been encouraging us that the weather in November won't be 'that bad' -- that we can still be outdoors. Am packing rain gear! But hoping for some clear days.
@taffy I don't know why he thinks he can predict that! Often lots of rain and sometimes snow in November. Bring rain gear for sure. You must be getting excited re the smokey mountains
@jgpittenger I am getting excited about the trip -- looks like at least today there were still color in the trees. Yep, am dressing for miserable weather -- as I'm sure my nephew is simply 'playing' us knowing that November is rarely a good time there. I've consulted there that time of year and driven in rather miserable conditions (with a few exceptions here and there). Keeping fingers crossed!
