Camping near Bear Branch Rd 393.9

The snoring in the Shelter kept us awake for most of the night so we were glad to head out early in the morning. At 10 we made our first break and had already ascended to three summits.
Next on the list were two balds, Little Hump Mountain and Hump Mountain. Hiking them felt like in Switzerland where you're often above the trees. We were rewarded with a beautiful weather and some breathtaking views. Directly on the summit at 5583ft (or in Julias measurement 1997 steps) of Hump Mountain we had our lunch break.
Afterwards we ran into a German woman who we had last seen in Neels Gap, so in our first week. On the way down from Hump Mountain we crossed the border from North Carolina to Tennessee for the last time!
