4/5 welcome to the Smokeys

2 of the last 3 days have been spent doing nothing but hiking up hill. Today was hot and humet and we had a 3000 ft clime in about 3 miles this was the first time in the hike were I would have rather stayed in town this morning, but the view from the top were amazing. I have a video ill put up wen I get to town . Right now im sitting in my tent well a storm rages out side with hall and lighting and who knows what, so to all you out there that reed this I would love to see comments and words of wisdom and inspiration, its nice on days like today were the clime was taking everything I had to see the things you all weight. Till next time happy trails
