Day 21 3/27
Woke up this morning to COLD! My boots were frozen! The ice was glittering on all the trees on the North side of the ridge and the wind was blowing chunks off. The trail was covered in the chunks – it was like walking through an inch of ice cubes. The usn was out all day. I hiked .6 miles to the Mt. Cammerer fire look out – gorgeous 360 degree views of the Smokeis, the valley to the North and West, etc. A bunch of day hiker were up there. Right before Cosby Knob I dropped below the snow line for the rest of the day. The birds were singing, I saw a snake and a snail – it's spring! Tonight = 2600' above sea level – Davenport Gap Shelter – 14.8 miles and 1.2 side trail to tower. Picker, Hopi, Hollywood, and Mike at the shelter.
