| What YOU think I see when I'm hiking... |
 |
| What I actually see when I'm hiking. It keeps me from faceplanting on the Trail quite so often (only one faceplant so far). |
 |
| A gorgeous morning to start hiking |
 |
| A large shelter. This is what we hunkered down in during the ice storm. |
 |
| Sometimes the trail is really rocky - the blazes may even be on the rocks instead of the trees. |
 |
| How many ridges do you see? How many ridges must we climb? Yup, all of them. |
 |
| Sometimes the trail looks like this. So many ecosystems, depending on elevation and location. |
 |
| Sometimes the trail looks like this. Yeah, no joke. |
 |
| Looking down on the Nolichucky River from Lover's Leap (one of them at least) |
 |
| Sometimes the Trail meanders through cow pastures. |
 |
| Sometimes, you move a few feet off the Trail to get right to the edge. |
 |
| Me in my tent last night. First time I camped absolutely alone. I slept pretty well despite the cloud that rolled in (see next picture). Oy, this is a horrible pic of me, but I haven't showered in 5 days and just got done with 18 miles. Not sure what excuse to use for my eyebrows though, oy. |
 |
| This is the cloud I slept in last night. It dropped rain, but it didn't actually rain. This picture was taken on the Trail as I got above the cloud itself. That was awesome! |
