Episode #140 - Appalachian Trail (Days 24 to 28)

This is the Smokies Part II episode. With five days the cover the mileage may seem unimpressive. However, within those five days, there are two "nearos" and a "zero." This has been a pretty brutal few days with snow, bone-jarring cold, warmth, slush, and a seemingly endless climb down out of these iconic mountains. In retrospect, I think that, while I'm glad they are over, the Smokies will stay in my mind long after the snow has melted and I'm pushing my way through Virginia.
