Thanks for joining Amber and I for the “second to last” roll of our 2005 Appalachian Trail thru-hike!

Let’s get on the Trail!

Chronologically this roll picks up where Rolls 10 &11 (Tennessee) left off.

We start off in Hot Springs, NC (and Elmer’s Sunnybank Inn and Max Patch). We walk through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (and up the Clingman’s Dome observation deck), ending the roll just past Fontana Dam.

Eleven years later (in November 2016), I actually just got done walking through the Smokies again.

OK, well. We’re almost there!

I’m hoping to publish our LAST ROLL (Springer Mountain and Thanksgiving with our families at Amicalola Falls State Park lodge!) on November 25, 2016 (11/25/16) so see ya’ll then!
