So we did it, well not all, we did hike 1850+ miles Of the Appalachian Trail

***** BREAKING NEWS  *****
Great Grand Son Jude has discovered America. Jude, Mamma Jennifer and Daddy Stephen are all doing well and Jude is healthy! 
Now today’s post:
This is Sherry in the Smokies, just past New Found Gap. The hike thru the Smokies is only a hundred miles, we spent about 12 days doing it.

This was a place just to sit and enjoy the beauty. Most of the other folk had just walked up from New Found Gap.  The Gap is between Cherokee, NC and Gatlinburg, TN

This was one of the most disappointing stops. We were in the clouds at Mchaffey Knob (?) supposed to be the best view on the trail.

Shery carried 35 pounds and I carried about 50.  Too much, but we never figured how to cut it down by much.
WE only hiked about 7 to 8 miles a day. We would be on the trail by 8:30 and quit around 3PM.  WE prepared a fire 9 out of 10 nites and shared it with hikers who were too tired to gather wood. The young hikers would regularly do 13-20 miles a day. The most we did in one day was 17 miles, toooo  much for us.
Thanks for dropping by.

PS:
WE met some amazing folk on the trail.

I thought this was odd, two round cars and a round something.
