Yesterday we hiked in the Cranberry Wilderness on the Cowpasture Loop. Lots of environmental diversity. We hiked through upland bog, mature conifer forest and upland meadows.

Here is a look out over the Cranberry glades from an observation deck

Sausage Cook off

Carolina Pride vs Carando Mild Tuscano vs Jones Dairy Farm pre-cooked Chicken Sausage.

And the winner is …….

Carando Mild Tuscano. Carolina Pride has too much salt and Jones Chicken Sausage tastes like chicken…not pork. Between these sausages I liked Carando Mild Tuscano the best.
