gsmnp should be reported for illegal hazing activities

to sum up the last little bit... i've learned that if you make ramen noodles and then add instant mashed potatoes to it and a little more hot water, then cover it in a few ketchup packets, it actually makes a heck of a carb-loaded meal. also, the kennel came and picked swayze up (since she can't go into the smokies) and she started cryin' and it almost made me cry. when we got to the fontana dam shelter the other night, the shelter was nearly full so we all just decided to cowboy camp (just sleeping bags under the stars, no tent) by the fire. it was awesome. :)

i do believe i'll be in damascus this upcoming weekend for trail days! :) my awesome cousin volunteered to drop by wherever we are and pick us up and take us. i would love to see as many bristol people as i can, so drop by and come see us! i won't have a car, but maybe i can convince my cousin we need a coffee date at starbucks or something.

i don't think i like the smokies. or maybe it's just because yesterday was my longest day yet and it included the monster uphill to shuckstack fire tower. yesterday was the first day where i actually got grumpy and felt like a two year old. i was tired and the shelters felt more and more spread out ........

  1. Did you spend a night at Mollie's Ridge shelter? If so did you meet Mollie? Mollie is the ghost of the Indian maiden who froze to death up there looking for a lost hunter and she still haunts that ridge. (as per the legend)..Doesn't make sense to me though..How does an Indian get lost?
    Wondered how you were gonna get to Damascus that soon after leaving Fontana Dam..Now I know when you said you're copping a ride.. I've never did the walk up from Fontana Dam to the ridge top of the Smokies but I could tell from looking at the map that it's pure torture..
