Cookie Lady stealth spot at Log Cabin Drive (mile marker 291.3) to Jones Meadow (#297.3).
Daily mileage: 6.0

Broke camp at 9am and immediately started up Camp Creek Bald (Elev. 4,700 ft). Heavens opened up at 11:30 with torrential rains and thunderstorms.

A few of us decided to call for a shuttle from Jones Meadows (the top of Camp Creek Bald) into Erwin, TN (an hour long ride down the backside of the mountain and around into town). We only had one bar of coverage but were able to get a hold of Doug, one of the 4 reliable shuttle drivers in the area.
Doug met us at the peak at 2pm and we happily and warmly were ushered to the Super 8 Motel to dry out. The Quarter Pounders and vanilla milkshakes next door at McDonalds never tasted so good.

We didn’t know at the time that a coastal storm off the coast of South Carolina was moving into the area and would stall over us for the entirety of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Czytaj więcej

Day 5 of AT in TN NOBO

Uncle Johnny's Hostel (344.5) to Indian Grave Gap (352.9)
Daily Mileage: 8.4

A cloudy and cold (42 degrees all day) start (7:15am) with a mostly uphill 5.5 mile climb from Uncle Johnny’s & the Nolichucky River up to 3,200 ft. Rain/ice starting falling with very strong winds around 9am that continued the rest of the day. Was intentionally a lower mileage day based on the weather and the fact that the next pick up point would’ve made for a 20 mile day in tough conditions. Steve from Unicoi Shuttle picked me up at Indian Grave Gap (1 pm) and brought me back to downtown Erwin to the Steel Rails Coffee House. Man did that hot coffee hit the spot! Czytaj więcej

Indian Grave Gap (352.9) to Iron Mountain Gap (364.9)
Daily Mileage: 12.0

Started ascending right out of Indian Grave Gap (3,400 ft) parking lot at 7:30am. 50 degrees and eerie dense fog. You could tell the day would warm up quickly.

The trail was lined initially with rhododendrons, azaleas, and mountain laurel all the way to Beauty Spot at 4,300 ft.

Once above the fog level after 45 minutes or so, the cloudless sky was crystal clear and the cloud inversion/fog views of the valley below were nothing short of amazing (see pics & videos).

Enjoyed FaceTiming Karina from Beauty Spot so that I could share the beautiful overlooks and scenery.

North out of Beauty Spot and headed up to the top of Unaka Mountain (5,200 ft Elev.). Halfway up, the landscape changed quickly to a forest of young Eastern/Red Spruce, Hemlocks and immense amounts of moss. I felt right at home.

The last 6.4 miles of the day was mostly descending ridge-running towards today’s exit point of Iron Mountain Gap. Passed Cherry Gap Shelter on the way. A nice 6-person shelter in an idyllic setting. Czytaj więcej
