Tuesday April 8
Mt Collins Shelter to Tri-Corner Knob Shelter
Mile 203.1 to 223.7
20.6 trail miles
1.5 mile wrongway for 3 bonus miles (beautiful)
Pitched in a muddy spot at dark, rained, woke up in the upper 20s, tent frozen inside and out, tiny icicles hanging on the edges. Packed up and hiked the first 5 miles trying to get feeling back in my hands. Caught a hitch almost immediately at the stop sign in freezing wind from Libby and Laurie, had a nice talk with them into Gatlinburg, they took me all the way to the post office. Packed up my perfect 3+ day resupply, took the blue and red lines to light 10 and caught a hitch almost immediately from Johnny, who hiked in 19 and was going brook trout fishing in the Smokies. Enjoyable afternoon hike, accidentally took a wrong turn before Ice water Creek Shelter and hiked almost a mile and a half before I realized. Got to Tri-Corner Shelter at 8, "no room" in the shelter where they had a fire going, had to search around for the last flat spot next to the cables
