Day 21 standing bear 10 miles

Today we awoke to -11 Celsius (11 Fahrenheit) snow covered hills. It was as though the Smokies gave us one last kick in the butt before we left today. The long trail down the mountain brought us to Standing Bear farms, home to Rocketman and Gatorboy and the kennel that houses dogs while their owners hike the smokies. The managers are like something out of a movie. Let's just say I learned a few new words...that I won't be trying out anytime soon.
