Hello from Max Patch!

Max Patch is a beautiful bald summit with miles of views in all directions on rare clear days like today. The view behind me is southwest back over Snowbird Mtn. Max is supposedly named after Maximillian, a prize horse who kept escaping his pasture to return to his favorite patch of grass up here on the summit. Warplanes used to land here on the summit. During WW I, German naval officers were interred in nearby Hot Springs, NC. That's where I'm headed now!
