Trail Journal 04.21.02

Zero day in Fontana Village. A day to do little but organize, eat, clean up and reflect. It feels lazy but oh so wonderful to rest before heading into the Smokies.

6:00 pm. Pack is ready. I've had a second shower. All that's remaining is a last dinner buffet, one more night in a bed and out of here tomorrow at 6:00 am. My pack is much heavier now but I know that I can carry it well. I now have my small tent and hope it will be adequate for me. The last 19 days have been truly fun. I see no reason why it should not continue to be so. Hiking is a lot of work but the reward is being outside in nature at a level I've never experienced. On to the Smokies!
