Tennessee

Well the 7 miles out of the NOC were not difficult but they were long. We were lucky because the forcast was for thunderstorms but no rain fell during the day. Dave and I were the last two hikers to get into the 14 person shelter. That night the sky did let loose making it even better that we made it in the shelter. On the 28th, it was a race 15.2 miles to Cable Gap Shelter whick only holds 6. Both of us made it and got a spot in the shelter. The next day we decented close to 2000ft in 6 miles in to Fontana Dam, NC. We took a quick resupply trip into the resort village so we could continue hiking and get into the Smoky Mountains.
