Fri 24 Sep - Fontana (Hike Inn)

Still warm, mid 80s but a nice breeze made it better for hiking.

We hiked 16.4 miles again today to get back to Fontana Dam. This completes the southern part of the Smokies. Lee hiked with us all day (helps the time pass quicker having someone else to talk to). We were able to arrange his son coming to pick him up. This morning we saw a crew rebuilding a shelter.

Saw a black bear on todays hike. Had a good long view across a ravine.

We got back to the dam and walked across to complete the section on trail we did southbound. We were supposed to call the Hike Inn for a ride but we had already lost the signal coming down the mountain too far. Fortunately Nancy came by to check on us and found us on the far side of the dam.
