Day 18 Gatlinberg 10 miles

We awoke in the shelter this morning to tales of mice from weekend hikers on spring break. I am lucky that no mice seemed to have been interested in my stuff.

I was given an extra bit of trail magic from section hikers last night and in the morning. It was the extra bit of protein O needed to get up klingman's Dom. The highest point on the trail was Icey and we all fell quite a bit on the way down. We are now washed, fed and warm in Gatlinberg. The trail begins for us again tomorrow.
