Ok it's all getting really real. Ask yourself how long you can go starving with no shower ...goin 200 yards downhill to get water after hiking all day, and eating a breakfast at 15 deg. in the morning. Ha life has gotten hard, we had to get off trail at newfound gap due to ranger advice. I'm in Gatlinburg TN drying clothes. The fact that the men I'm hiking with have been humbled including I is so amazing...the story is good.......tomorrow we will see if the road is even open for us to get bk on trail they are looking at a 1ft. of snow so the icy trails above 6000ft will be worse. In words I cnt really explain how trail conditions are...it's just basically cold, slippery, and wet really wet...Hypothermia is the talk of the trail...alot of people are not ready for the big mountains they call The Great Smoky Mountains. Sorry for bein negative...probably just needed to vent lol. So on that hand 206 miles yay and the highest point of the AT...first thru hikers noticed at clingmans dome! (not the first for this year btw) I'm glad tallboy and heart rock got to see a decent view...
Thanks for your prayers and thoughts I know god is watching out for us.
