• Mt Collins Shelter 202.5

    May 19, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Today was another pretty eventful day. We were at Mount Clingman which is the highest mountain in the Smokey Mountains and also the highest elevation in the whole Appalachian Trail! CHECK!
    And we also reached the 200 miles, so less than 2000 miles until Kathadin :) On the way we saw lots of turkeys, they're super huge!! Julia named them Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year's eve. Next time when we're in the Smokies we need to hike the Jonas Creek Trail.
    Besides this, we had a very intense hike with almost 20 miles because Daniel aka "Late start" teased us to do it... So we reached the Shelter when it already got dark. Dinner in the dark, Quinoa, red and white rice with Ramen.
    We were there in company of Daniel and Mantis and had a very nice even with them.
