Into the Smokies

Yesterday, on Sunday the fifth, we left at twelve and walked twelve miles in five hours. It was cold and wet and lovely! It was finally a temperature I am suited to! I loved it. The fog or mist at night was almost spooky, especially sjnce we had heard tell of bears nearby. There were no problems though.

On the morning on Monday, we saw deer. Sadly no photos... The twelve mile day started off lovely, and we had some great views from Rock Top; however, in the last three miles or so there were some surprisingly difficult climbs without much of a view.

Tuesday dawns, early. Too early I dislike it. Today we are attempting a thirteen mile day uber Clingman's Dome - the highest part of the trail. Hopefully, all goes well and there are many good views. It is almost all gently uphill though.
