Destination: Derrick Knob Shelter
Today's miles: 12.0
Total miles: 189.8
The first part of today was fairly easy. We had twelve miles to cover and we did the first seven by lunch. We reached Rocky Top, where Magge and I gave a stirring rendition of the eponymous song and I showcased my Tennessee hat for the camera. Unfortunately, the clouds had rolled in and the view from Rocky Top wasn't great. About a mile later, the rain started to pour. It's actually the first time we've been rained on while hiking since the freezing rain of April 4, so we can't really complain. It stopped by the time I got to the shelter and I was able to get most of my things dried out.
The shelter is packed tonight, so I'm not looking forward to the cornucopia of noises I'll have to listen to while trying to fall asleep.
Too bad you can't incorporate audio sounds in your blog. I would have loved to have heard you sing your favorite song. Hope your sleep was restful enough. :)
ReplyDeleteAh Rocky Top! Sorry about the rain.
