We took a short hike from the campground, up to the top of Table Top Mountain. While enjoying a snack at the top, the silence was suddenly broken with the sound of a flute. We sat there quietly enjoying the music; it seemed magical. Later, we had the opportunity to talk to the flutist. He has been playing the Native Amerian Flute for 12 years, and every time he summits a mountain, no matter its size, he plays his flute. One meets some of the coolest people on the road.
