Hiking on a nice, sunny day. It reached a very, warm 70 degrees. The next day, it snowed. Luckily, we were in town visiting our family!
Posing with our hilarious, fun hiking partners ("C-Zur" and "Myko") for the past few weeks.
NOT AT ALL...mean librarian! She was the one that limited our access to 1 hour despite no one else being in the library and another 2 computers available. She wouldn't allow us to get back on all day.
We all pack into a tiny shelter on a very cold night. C-Zur reads to us each night from a ridiculous book. We wish it would have kept our mind ofd the cold that night.
"Too Klean" slips while trying to pose with the Grayson Highlands' pony. No worries...she laughed it off.
"Too Klean" making plans to meet up with the family.
Our packs outside a breakfast diner in Damascus.
A 26-mile day heading into Damascus (can you see the light's from the town?). We got there just after the sun went down.
Leaving TN and heading into VA where we'll be for over a month.
One of the oldest shelters on the AT.
"Hot Mess" crossing another bald during another foggy day.
Preparing breakfast.
Up on Big Bald just before staying at one of the tallest shelters on the AT.
"Too Klean" dips for water.
"Too Klean" deals with a financial mishap in Hot Springs. Of course, no cell service and the internet was a couple blocks away. Annoying.
Stairs up to Max Patch.
The place we stayed at to dry out after the Smokies. Good morning "Splinter" and "Burns."
"Hot Mess" manuvering around one of the many fallen trees.
"Too Klean's" turn.
"Too Klean" trying to stay warm and dry out.
"Too Klean" (aka Kirstin) takes a moment to check out the vista.
"Hot Mess" (aka Britt) built a nice fire which not only boiled our water, but it warmed us up as well.
Hanging our bags to try and keep the mice away.
SUN for the first time in a few days. We took the opportunity to enjoy!
"Splinter" and "Endor"...our hiking buddies through the Smokies.
"Hot Mess" hanging with the pony in the Grayson Highlands.
Crazy wind! Shortly after the picture, "Too Klean's" rain cover flew off. She ran so fast to catch it. Thank goodness it got caught on some brush.
Partnership Shelter is next to a visitor center. It has a phone which meant we could order pizza after traveling 25 miles. Look at all the hungry thru-hikers.

Greetings Lady hikers! I am a good friend of C-zur's and came across your blog looking for him. I think by now you have gone separate ways...he made it to Harper's Ferry last week and took a few days off but has been back on the trail for a few days now. Just wanted to say hi and wish you well!!
