Report

I took a later start than usual, hoping for warmer weather and less storms. It was still cool at night and a few rainy days, but not bad over all. Water was plentiful and resupply in town was easy. The trail had more climbing than I remembered and it was a trudge to the top occasionally. Reading reports of bear encounters and noro outbreaks were concerning , but managed just fine. Finally felt the excitement growing the night before I knew I'd make it to Clingmans. It was very exciting to walk up there this time.
