Soaring with the Hawks at Tamassee Knob

Hiked out to Tamassee Knob late yesterday afternoon and ran into a group of five hawks.  On a couple of occasions, these birds were so close to us you could actually hear the air "whooshing" across their wings.  I had never heard that sound before, and it was surprisingly loud.  I wish the video could have picked it up.

It just goes to show; you don't need to travel hundreds or thousands of miles away for great hiking.  We have it all right here in our backyard.

If you live it, life is good.
