Went hiking with David to Gregory Bald in the Smokies. Started hiking about 12:30 and 9 miles later and 3,000 feet, we were to the top of the bald around 5:00! Quite tired, I layed down in exhaustion up on the bald!
Hiked another half mile to campsite 13 which we had to ourselves. Had dinner and got a campfire started with coals that were buried under the ash from the previous days campfire! That was good because it was very windy and our matches weren’t staying lit! Went to bed around 8:00. Woke up next morning at sunrise and left by 8:30. 5 miles later we were back at the trailhead around 11:30. A very nice trip even if we were sore afterwards 🙂 My knee started really hurting only in the last half-mile.
