“In Today’s Economy, How Far Can A GED Take You?”
This is a great article by Claudio Sanchez from NPR about whether a GED is going to really provide the opportunities that it might have once given. Studies are showing that GED’s are not providing any more advancement than dropping out of high school.

Hiking in the Smokies
We hiked out the Abrams Creek trail to the Abrams Falls & then beyond until the trail crossed the very rain swollen creek so we re-traced our hike back to the Cade’s Cove trail head. 8.4 miles total round trip. Very warm could of hiked in short & t-shirts. Suburban camped & stayed out of the rain that hit early this AM. Spending time in Townsend today. Snow & freezing rain on the way.
