What is with you Franklin? It looks like next week is supposed to be 20% - 60% chance of rain every day!! Well I don't care... still going from Deep Gap to Fontana Dam. Does rain in Franklin usually mean rain on that southern North Carolina section of the trail? Any other better close locales that I can look up? Franklin seems the best.

Thanks, JB

Sound like you need to carry a weather rock with you:


If the rock is wet, it's raining.
If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing.
If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining.
If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy.
If the rock is not visible, it is foggy.
If the rock is white, it is snowing.
If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost.
If the ice is thick, it's a heavy frost.
If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake.
If the rock is under water, there is a flood.

Yeah, this. You'll see the clouds building all afternoon, and somebody is going to get a thunderstorm somewhere nearly every day. Some days it's you.

Ha ha! Saw that at an airport once. You forgot:
If the rock is gone, tornado.
