The wet days before Trail Days

[Me on an overlook somewhere last week]

Really, when I look back on last week, the 60-mile stretch of trail from Rice Field Shelter to just before Catawba was a soggy blur of hiking.

I hit Keffer Oak, a famous 300-year-old tree:

I hit Dragon's Tooth, a famous rock outcropping at 691 miles from Springer:

I did get to meet some cool new people, Inferno, Long Shanks, Shorts, Cookie and TicToc. But only Long Shanks and I planned to go to Trail Days...
