GIVE.

It's ALWAYS a good time to donate to Blue Ridge Public Radio, the local National Public Radio member station. Public radio is a great way to stay informed on issues that impact you on local, state, national and global levels. The goal of public radio is to provide unbiased and honest news reporting, not to make a profit on the news. This means they need as much public support as possible. You can find more information about donating at here.

HIKE.

Catch the last bit of fall color from the top of Max Patch in Hot Springs, N.C. This weekend should still provide some brilliant displays of green, yellow and red leaves, with a slight orange and brown hugh, marking the final transition to winter. Max Patch is part of the famous Appalachian Trail, and it's a 4,600-square foot bald mountain with many paths to the top. During the spring, it is covered in tall grass and wildflowers (think Sound of Music), but during the fall its open pastures are the best way to see the colorful array of autumn leaves in distance. From the top, you will have 360-degree views of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Directions to get there can be found at here.
