Yesterday we decided to stay at the Fontana Hilton Shelter and take a zero day. It was nice, we went down to the Dam and had ice cream. But today, today was wet. We got an early start and spent our entire 11 mile hike soaked. The only thing that kept me going were the dry change of clothes in my pack. My waterproof shoes proved to be less than waterproof, and wringing the dirty water out of my socks at the shelter was not so fun. At least this shelter has a fireplace to dry them by! Today was our first day in the Great Smoky National Park, and the trail is beautifully maintained, and I can't wait to see what it's like not encompassed in a fog. Tomorrow looks sunny so we'll dry ourselves out and have a better day.
It's getting dark outside so that means bedtime.
Goodnight,
Sara
