rain,ice,snow ,and most important....the sun!!!
we had plans of going all the way through the smoky's,but after days of cold rain,then drying out we decided to get off the trail for a little rest in Gatlinburg.we hiked a litlle over 40 miles,the last 8 miles were the toughest yet,we were hiking from clingman's dome to newfound gap,and the snow on the ground kept giving-way,and we would sink up to our knees(post holing).....ugh!!! one morning we had to sit in the shelter because of the ice falling from the trees....eek!!
don't tell the ranger,but we did a little stealth camping....we snuck up to clingmans tower(6,640)to sleep,and saw an awesome sunset,moonrise,and sunrise.....made it all worth it!!!!
Peace,Love,and Happiness
Love Deeper,and Speak Sweeter
until next time ....happy trails
Trinket and Q-tip

Theresa C:) I have to confess that I don't envy you! lol!!
Gail (Competition MAMA!! LOL!) Hey there guys. One of my favorite places is the Gatliburg area. My husband and I once got up at 4AM one morning while vacationing up there and drove up to Clingman's Dome to watch the sunrise. We brought a thermos of hot cocoa and it was an awesome sight. Had planned to go the next year and do wine and the sunset but haven't made it back since 1999! Keep on truckin'!!! We're pulling for ya!

Billy Hi, Do hope all is going well. It is Camp Monroe time I am sure you will be missed. I hope I can go next year. All is the same in my little part of the world I hang in. I cannot speak about the other part. Do not get the news like I did when I was in Primary. Take care, Peace, Love and Harmony, Billy
