Today I connected with my previous hikes through the Smokies. Over 200 miles from Springer Mountain is now complete. Tomorrow I’ll be jumping to Newfound Gap to complete my hike through the Smokies.

I’m at the Tiny Hiker Cabin in the Woods for the night. Tomorrow will be a zero in Cherokee, North Carolina before heading into the Smokies.

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
