Found this bench along the trail.  Felt it my duty to sit a spell.

Carver Gap

Roan Knob Shelter, 6,275 feet

It's 39 degrees and very windy up here.  Unfortunately mo views so here is a picture of the litter strewn shelter at the top.  Some people do need a beat down.  There is a road not to far from here which usually means day hikers.

Nolichucky River

Cross Roads

Weight Check

208 pounds.  Lost 17 so far.  Less then expected but then again not bad considering there is beer and barbecue every two days! ;)

Nolichucky Hostel

A bit overpriced to say the least.  But got a shower and laundry is running.  Beer run later.  Caught up to Bam and big John.

Happy Easter everyone!  Looks like it will be a nice if not hot day out here on the trail.

Lake View

Just came across this nice mountain lake.  Wish I had a fishing pole, they're jumping!

Good Bye Hot Springs

Had a great time but spent way to much money.  Nice to hook up with my traveling companions though.

River Cooler

Guess which ones are mine!  Big shin dig here tomorrow.  May slack pack twenty so I can be here for the barbecue.

Standing Bear Farm Hostel

This place is pretty spread out so I will post a bunch of pictures.

Pigeon River

And feeder river.  Was 40 degrees this morning, down hear it is 92.  Thought I was going to have heatstroke the last half mile.  I am at a Hostel right now but don't recognize anyone from the trail.  I'll post some hostel pictures later.  These dudes are already partying!
