Made it 19.7 miles to Tellico Gap tonight. Highlights today were seeing a new hiker
companion for me for the first time today -
my shadow. Another first today was getting lost several times near the summit
of Wylah Bald Mountain where other trails intersected with the Appalachian
Trail and the trails were marked poorly. I probably lost 20 minutes going in
circles. In any case I made it to this gap at about 6 PM and got a ride to this
mountain lodge where I am staying in great comfort tonight. Helen and I are
discussing plans for my return trip onto Maine it looks like I will be flying
home from Asheville, North Carolina on Wednesday afternoon -.so far so good.
My new hiking companion - he only shows up when it is sunny which has not been happening:
I had the good fortune to stay in the Aquaone Lodge tonight. The owners Steve and Maggie picked me up at Tellico Gap and drove me to the lodge about 15 minutes away and brought me back to the Gap in the morning. Their lodge was a wonderful experience in comfort and luxury buried in the deep woods of NC. This is a photo of me eating the sumptuous breakfast Maggie cooked for me before Steve drove me back to the Gap to start the next day:
