169.6 miles.
We've made it to Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP)! Had a nice stop at Fontana Dam this morning. Filled my pack with junkfood I'd never have eaten back home (donuts, poptarts, candy bars, pretzels). Then ate lots of it on the 3,000 foot climb out and felt like barfing. Good to know.
We saw our first wildflowers yesterday -spring is on her way! The weather's been perfect -sunny and in the 60's, but they say rain's on the way. I just hope we can see the gerat Smokies along the way. The views are said to be spectacular. We climbed a fire tower up on a high hill this afternoon for a glimpse of the waves of mountains ahead of us. What an amazing place.
