Charlie and I started out from our stealth camp in rain this morning. Hit the trail about 7:40 a.m. We hiked about four hours and made 10 miles to Standing Bear Hostel. We are three miles from the Smokies. Hiking was tough with lots of blown down trees to get through. It did turn sunny at the end of our walk, though!
We are going to slack pack tomorrow for 15 miles. We will shuttle into the Smokies and hike back here. That will allow Charlie to connect with Dan and Shara so he can get to their home in Johnson City and to a flight back to Ames on Saturday afternoon. With all the snow, it's been great having Chuck blaze the trail for me this past week. Take care.
