Cloud walk to Low Gap

3/20/15 - Slept decently last night in a nice, dry, real bed.  It's still drippy outside, but looks like a doable day.  There's a chance for showers as it heats up so I'll keep the rain gear handy.

Started at 9am, made it to Tesnatee Gap at 12:25.  The mist would not lift and the wind in the gap was strong and cold.  We hiked out before 1pm.  Made to Low Gap in the rain about 4:30pm.  Eleven and a half miles in 7.5 hours, works for me.

Tomorrow is supposed to dry out,  I'd like to do 13 miles to the old cheese factory campsite, but I'm not sure what Meadow or Sam I Am have planned.  

I'm considering getting a shuttle into Hiawassee to a motel instead of the hostel as it looks like rain on Monday and I expect the hostel to be full.

I notice the SPOT coordinates are all over the map today. I guess the clouds are interfering with the signal.

  1. If you camp at the cheese factory site, go through the rhododendron stuff to the west for nice, relatively private places to tent. You are doing great, Binjali.
