Went to the Smokey Mountain Overland Rally this weekend. While the rally was ok, I was able to get to a part of Carolina/Tennessee I haven't been to before. Hit Hurricane Creek for the first time. The venue was at a farm not far from Del Rio TN. Disappointed Max Patch was socked in but it was just good to be in the mountains. I also got to see a bald eagle in the wild for the first time. Came home thru Hot Springs, NC and dipped my muddy feet in the French Broad. They were having trail days for the AT thru hikers coming in. After two unshowerd days in the wilderness I was still one of the better smelling, I think!? Took the longest night way home and hit a few FSR's in Wilson Creek on the way home. All in all time well spent
