The CK Daily – A Weekend of Hiking\u2026& SNOW!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is off to a great start this week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a fantastic weekend exploring North Carolina. On Friday we headed up to Boone, NC to enjoy a weekend of hiking! The weather was extremely windy but beautiful the entire drive up, but late Friday afternoon it started to get overcast and cloudy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After getting settled in at the cabin, we decided to head to Blowing Rock, NC to hike the Rough Ridge Overlook Trail. By the time we got there, we had driven into rain that soon turned to SNOW. We couldn\u2019t believe it. We decided to still check out the hike which was a very intense experience given the snow and the extremely high winds. We couldn\u2019t see a thing, but it was still fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday we hiked Mount Mitchell which is the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Multiple trails lead to the top (in fact, you can actually drive to the top) but we chose to hike in from Black Mountain Campground which AllTrails said was an 11.2 mile hike. It\u2019s known for giving incorrect distances and we ended up clocking 13.1 miles and 4200 feet of elevation gain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were all pretty tired by the time we got to the top! Another unexpected surprise was that the top of the mountain was covered in snow. It was absolutely beautiful and we really enjoyed it, although we were way underprepared for the weather! We never considered snow when packing for the trip! It was truly a wonderful weekend and I\u2019m glad we got to check a bucket list hike off of our list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you been to Mount Mitchell? I highly recommend it if you\u2019re ever in the area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Center Article – Understanding Indoor Fiber Optic Cable Color Schemes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fiber optics are common in many networks, and they\u2019re essential to provide enough bandwidth and capability in modern digital communication. If you work in networking, you have to learn at least the basics of fiber optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start today\u2019s lesson, we can remember that fiber optics come in two modes: single and multi. Single-mode fiber does better with very long-distance communication while multimode fiber is capable of higher overall transmission rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
