Day at the “NOC”
8 maggio 2023, Stati Uniti ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
Got to the Nantahala Outdoor Center and spent the afternoon, evening and overnight there. Most of our crew did the same as the weather was incredible, wading in the river was exhilarating, and the beer was COLD.

The NOC is a commercial outdoor guide service that operates a retail store, outfitter, 2 restaurants, rents individual rooms and cabins, teaches whitewater rafting/paddling, etc. . It’s also where the American Olympic Whitewater Paddling team practices and is the home course for 22 world champions.

12 of us (9 “young guns” as I call them, and 3 of us ambulatory athletic wannabes) had a late lunch, drank beer and purchased supplies at the outfitter. The Young Guns continued up the steep ascent out of the NOC that afternoon more than buzzed, while the 3 of us had dinner, stayed the night in shoebox-like rooms, and got an early start the next am after heavy overnight thunderstorms.Leggi altro

Cody Gap tent area (mile marker 156.0) to Fontana Dam Resort & Village (#164.7).
Daily Mileage: 8.7

Great weather and a relative lollygag into Fontana Dam with a zero day on the horizon for tomorrow. Hiked with Cassian (I gave him the trail name “Cash Money” yesterday as he rocks the uphills each and every time), Lee & Caleb, and Zipperhead.

Ok, so, Zipperhead. He’s about 50 yrs old and comes from Sturbridge, MA. Has 2 daughters. He got his trail name from the scar left by extensive brain surgery 7 years ago that left him bed-ridden for more than 2 years. After his recuperation, he successfully thru hiked the AT 3 years ago. He’s back for more and not sure how far he’ll go. A true inspiration. (He’s in one of the pics from a couple of days ago with Cassian).
A bunch of us stopped halfway at Cable Gap Shelter for the Privy and lunch. Saw a black rat snake heading back to the shelter to get ready for a mouse dinner.

Entered the Fontana Dam area at 3:15 and got a shuttle ride from the Marina up to to the lodge to check in. Had an awesome dinner, two cold Blue Ridge Hazy IPA’s, and from the patio was able to check out the Camaro Club of NC all coming in and assembling for their big rally & ride tomorrow. Looks to be upwards of 75-80 Camaro owners staying here.Leggi altro

Zero day here at Fontana Dam Resort.

Awoke at 9am to the sounds of revving Camaro engines and…. We’re off!!

Had leftover pizza from last night for breakfast in the room and then went down the road a bit to do laundry and re-supply my food supplies in prep for entering the Great Smoky
Mountains first thing tomorrow. Spoke to the family, organized a bunch of stuff and then headed to the Lodge here to update Find Penguins & Facebook with the last 6 days of journal entries.

Ready to go to dinner in a few minutes, get to sleep early, and then off to the Smokies tomorrow!!Leggi altro

Sassafras Gap Shelter (mile marker 143.8) to Cody Gap tenting area (156.0).
Daily Mileage: 12.2

Started at 8am to to get a start up to the top of Cheoah Bald (one mile in). Epic views from the top at 9am with Cassian, Zipperhead, Lee (61 yrs old) & his son Caleb (23) from Louisiana, and a few others who tented with us last night.

The rest of the day was much harder than we thought it would be. Hot temps, no breeze, and a lot of “PUD’s” (pointless ups & downs). Stopped at Stecoah Gap 7.3 miles in for a 45 min rest/lunch/water gather and then climbed the STEEP Jacob’s Ladder which ascended almost 1,000 ft in half a mile. Trekked the rest of the afternoon and got to Cody Gap and pitched tents for the night w/ 12 others. Nice weather.Leggi altro

NOC (mile marker 136.9) to Sassafras Gap Shelter (#143.8).
Daily Mileage: 6.9

Only 7 miles today as it was straight uphill out of the NOC, we wanted to wait until 10am when the thunderstorms ended, and Sassafras Gap Shelter was where a lot of folks were headed based on having an on-site privy and close-by water source.

I hiked a lot today (and had dinner with him last night) with a guy named Cassian from St.Louis (birth name Christopher). He has been a St. Benedictine Monk & Priest since graduating from Vanderbilt University in 2000. He took the name Cassian after St. Cassian, a Christian Monk and theologian noted for his role in bringing the ideas and practices of early Christian monasticism to the medieval West. An incredibly intelligent and thoughtful guy with many interesting stories of his upbringing, his position within the Parish, his ministering to young adults, and his current year-long sabbatical. His goal is to get to Boone, NC (mile mark @ 410), lose 75 pounds, and figure out his next role within the St. Benedictine system. Talking to him here and there on the trail each of the last 3 days has made the time speed by!Leggi altro

The skywalk was a fun thing to do with the longest suspension bridge, but we like the Snowbird ski slope lift in salt lake City a lot better. It's extremely touristy in this area, like Ocean City boardwalk.

Clingman's Dome is worth the drive up here. It's just hard to find parking, so go early.

You never know what's going to happen on vacation, a bunch of pink carnations came floating down the stream and several of them came over to the side we were on. So I picked them and put them in a vase.Leggi altro

There is something so very captivating about the Southern Appalachians. The depth? The texture? The people? Or, maybe it’s my connection and love of the trail. Our plans were to start the Blue Ridge Parkway and proceed north. Nope. Closed?!? It was a Wally World moment for us. Really?!? Headed up to my best friend’s house to seek refuge from the pending Siberian Siege. Merry Christmas to all.Leggi altro

Even cooler this morning. Sure enjoying the heated gloves I bought before I left. 40 degrees in Asheville in mid may.

Tons of bikes here of all kinds, and all the fast food restaurants. Wish I had some way to find out what other bikers already know is good.Leggi altro

We are so hungry!!!
Lynn's Place is a great little diner that we frequented a few times in 2007 during our first trip here. Back then, it was the only restaurant in town and closed at 5pm. Now they don't open until 11am and saty open until 830. Delicious food and this fried cheesecake with blackberry compote was incredible, also very healthy, I'm sure!Leggi altro

The Two Wheel Inn is the first lodge we stayed at in 2007. It's very unique and tailored to bikers. We stopped in there to see what had changed. They are under new ownership, and the owned is very sweet. The place has doubled in size and is where we will stay again during our next trip. We recommend it highly for anyone making tge trip!
