Day #117-Fall beauty in full swing; Miles hiked: 16.4

It was another cool morning, but it led to a beautiful day!Not even five miles into our hike, we came across this awesome view of Roan Mtn. That’s where I’m headed tomorrow!

But for today, I passed this sign alerting me to the dwindling miles between here and Springer Mtn. It’s definitely high time for reflection for the entire thru hiking community. Our journeys are winding down…This afternoon brought warmer temps and a chance to dry out all of our wet belongings-yes, another hiker yard sale.By dinnertime, we made it to 19E and Roan Mtn, TN. I’m staying above a wonderful local bar with a kind soul named David. Thank you very much for inviting me to your place!
