I just finished my 2nd day back on the trail and the weather has been absolutely wonderful these two days. There was still a little snow on the trail on the shady side of the mountains, but overall it couldn’t be any better.
I’ve heard some horror stories from a few hikers further up the trail in the Smokies. Apparently there are more than 100 hikers stuck at shelters and in town south of the Smokies due to 5-6ft deep snow along the trail. I sure hope that starts melting soon, otherwise I may be stuck in town AGAIN!
Jasper has been doing great, as usual. I’m not setting a very fast pace but he has stuck with his customary 20-30 feet in front rule and seems to be having a great time. We’ve met quite a few other hiking dogs so far as well and everyone has been very friendly.
Oh Joe, It is so good to hear you are so happy. I am still hurting from my fall in NY, but I'm hopeful that I can recover for my trip in June. It should be such a great one---places I have been before, but really looking forward to seeing again. Espically Italy- In Bolzano there is a 3500year old man they found in the ice--does that make you think of you? I sure hope not. I still have the hot line going upstairs for you and now for me too. Love you ,l W
