Gatlinburg and onwards

From Mt Collins shelter we got into Gatlinburg. What happened there isn't terribly interesting. It's an expensive town to stay at, but we managed to cram four into one room, see Avengers and resupply. Gatlinburg is loud, full of bright garish colours, and busy. I hated it.

Now Kaitlin and I are heading back out. We've had reports of bears and a shelter being closed because of them. The hitchhike in was.. Interesting. We sat in the back of a pick-up, which was exciting.

The first shelter was closed due to bears. Kaitlin and I wisely ate lunch there like numpties. We then pushed for the second shelter for a ten mile day, approximately, in rather fair weather.
