Warm and humid again. Mid 80s. Thunder this afternoon while we were hiking but no rain on us.
We hiked from Stecoah Gap to Fontana Dam, 15.6 miles. No new problems so we plan to enter the Smokies tomorrow. We saw a couple of grouse, both yesterday and today.
Fontana Dam creates Fontana Lake from the Nantahala River. The dam is the highest east of the Mississippi.
We also passed the shelter known as the Fontana Hilton. It can sleep 24 people and has access to bathrooms with real toilets and a shower.
I have a signal tonight because we are at the Stecoah Diner. The special tonight is chicken fried steak.
