Day
21 – Double Spring Gap to Icewater Spring Shelter13.8 miles, 209.8 Total
Well, today I crossed the 200-mile mark! And the weather was great! The skies really cleared up, about half sun,
half clouds. My shoes, however, stayed
wet all day, and by the end of the day, my feet were wrinkly and soggy. Sounds terrible, but it wasn’t that bad. Just gotta keep hiking to stay warm.
I summited Clingman’s Dome today, the highest point on the AT. But, of course, I was in a cloud at that
moment! Most of today’s hike was in a
forest of pine trees, and that was a great change in scenery.
The shelter I’m staying at tonight is over 5900 feet in elevation, and
it has a great view. Wonderful
background for cooking dinner. Great phone
signal for once, too.
Tonight, once again, is a completely different crew: MacGyver, Wings, Phoenix, Bonjour, Ringmaster
and about 15 others.
