Life is all about choices.

The many faces of the trail.

The previous 7 photos give you an idea of how much the trail changes from day to day. We hope that all of you are enjoying the photos! We are trying to keep the blog updated as much as possible as time and locations permit. For all of you that have commented on any of the photos we appreciate it! and we are going to try to reply to every one. Hiking On!

The same deer

Posing for the shot. Two guys actually had to bang hiking poles together to get it to move off of the trail.


Tony and Chris

A big thanks to Chris for coming all the way to Gantlinburg to show us the park and drive us all around!


Note the deer behind me.

This deer hung around the camp for about an hour.

Tony and I were happy and full after devouring a "healthy" dinner at the NOC cafe. Our waiter even threw a little trail magic our way in the form of a massive chicken tender and french fry plate.
