Am now officially through the SMNP and headed up toward Hot Springs. Hanging out at the Standing Bear Hiker Hostel in TN - just off the trail. Classic TN place with shacks, etc. Rustic to say the least!
Carolyn will provide more updates soon...did 18 miles today so I am starting to get my hiking legs (though it was mostly downhill). Lots of rain last night that turned into snow in the morning. Hiking all today was either in snow, rain or fog...but that's the Smokies for you!
Met a man on the trail named "U-Haul" because he is caring 90lbs of gear! Has been hiking since February 5th...wouldn't believe what his pack looks like! Goes down to his ankles. He says he needs everything...kind of crazy!
Can't wait for Hot Springs and my first official "zero"!
All for now...wouldn't believe this computer I am on...can't believe it's working!
