Today was another great day in the Smokies. We hiked 4.9 miles out of the woods to Newfound Gap. There we met up with Topo’s girlfriend, Whitney, who brought us donuts and our food re-supply for the next 3 days. She came hiking with us for a few miles down the trail and then we stopped at a shelter for lunch. Soon after lunch we came to a place called Charlie’s Bunion. It was a rocky outcrop with an amazing view. Topo took an awesome picture of me jumping up with the view in the background. Then we hiked on. The weather was gorgeous. We hiked a total of 15.4 miles today. We met some more new people tonight. Some college students from Brown. They shared marshmallows with us and we toasted them over a fire that we build inside the shelter. We also played a fun word/charades game with them. It was a fun night. Time for bed. XOXO – good night.
