Jill had made a good recovery from her sickness and was able to join the boys when they left Gatlinburg. They caught a shuttle back to the Newfound Gap to regain the trail. Ken took a picture of Gatlinburg as they left.
Gatlinburg, TN
This day found them hiking a treacherous section of trail. The A.T. followed the crest of the mountains on a 'path' only 4-5 feet wide. 1,000 foot drop offs on either side. Ken was glad they had no rain this day as a fall would lead not to a rescue, but to a recovery! He captured this moment in the video below:
As they came over the Charles Bunion mountain, they could see Siler's Bald in the distance. This is the mountain they crossed over 2 days ago.
They stopped at Peck's Corner Shelter for the night and a well earned rest.
