Miles Today - 17.5
I awoke to birds chirping in the morning sun. Ah. A moment later more rain than I've ever seen fell from the sky and all hell broke loose.
It was that kind of day. The weather alternated several times between gorgeous and torrential rain. I got soaked to the bone and then completely dried three times over.
My appetite has been growing by leaps and bounds. While I left the NOC thinking I had too much food, I now wish I had taken more. Luckily I ran into Refugee's partner (whose name I should really figure out. Also Refugee has left the trail for a week or two), and she told me her parents are doing trail magic on Clingam's Dome tomorrow. Hot dogs and hamburgers. Perfect. I scarfed down the remainder of my snacks.
The shelter was full of people doing minimal millage to hide from the rain, so I set up the hammock nearby. It's supposed to be nice tonight and tomorrow though. Rose went on another 1.7 miles, so I'll wake up early as always and try to catch up in the morning. I'll hit the Dome and wait for that cookout, and then will head into Gatlinburg for some serious relaxation.
