Whenever the Appalachian Trail Guide designates that a “Knob” is approaching… it means get ready for an excruciating climb upward. With the usual views thathe await us… we try our best to TURN THE KNOB into an enjoyable climb (knowing that we will enjoy the views as soon as we arrive at the summit… and in some cases… even before the summit).

It may be an unusual rock… tree… or both… but we hope that these amazing images help to explain how we are transforming the excruciating into the enjoyable.

With patches of snow still lingering around at these higher elevations, we continue to climb to the summit of Thomas Knob (intently looking for the wild ponies that have been seen by others).

As you TURN THE KNOB on the door of your home… know that we also TURN THE KNOB of nature by appreciating the awesome and breathtaking views during the climb.
