Rice Fields (Also way overdue!)

Although I have long since graduated, I decided that it would be a good time to use one of the nice perks that I'm offered as a university employee and take a class for fun.  This semester, I picked a freshman-level digital photography class and have been having a blast.  For one of our assignments, we were asked to submit photographs highlighting the importance of using light to your advantage.  As luck would have it, Casey and I picked a day with fascinating weather for a hike right as this assignment was in session.  It led to some neat photos.

Rice fields used to be a much longer, much more challenging hike, but at some point in the last several years, the AT was rerouted and the parking coordinates changed.  As a result, the hike is now only about 5 miles round trip and quite a nice little jaunt to the top.
