Wednesday June 6, miles today 11, miles from Springer 115.1

I we started a little late probably due to the carb load at the Lazy Hiker the previous night.  Obi-Wan had a 7 am call to Switzerland so after that we went to breakfast at the Kountry Kitchen.  Obi wanted a little more sleep so I spent a couple of hours packing and updating the blog.  At 11 am we caught a shuttle to the trailhead.  I started out ok but heat of the afternoon wore me out especially the last climb up Wayah Bald.  When I finally got to the top I found Obi-Wan and Hellcat lounging  by the rock tower.  Views were spectacular.  We could see the Smokies in the distance.  We decided to pool our last water and have dinner and coffee at our penthouse.

Dinner a the penthouse


We finally got up and made the mile trek down to Wayah shelter.  When we got there we found Major Tom who had a zero day there.  He had cleaned and organized the shelter.  Even the dirt in the vestibule was swept. We exchanged the day's stories and slept without any mice disturbing us.

    I mistakenly posted a comment to your photo log. Don't know how I ended up there. But you're doing GREAT!
