Day 123 (October 24)

We Had another excellent hike today. We left before daylight and made 20 miles, following Watawga Lake for half the day. It is a reservoir formed in the 30s under the infamous Tennessee Valley Authority boondoggle. Beautiful. Zest has a summer home in North Carolina and his brother lives in the area, so that is where we are staying for the next several days. We'll hike during the day, Zest's brother will pick us up at the end of the day, and we'll stay at Zest's home. Nice.
