I've only been on the part that goes through Virginia and North Carolina decades ago.

7. they got off in Gatlinburg

just like I did in 2013... that was a brutal year and I was forced off by cold and snow in the Smokies (breaking trail in knee deep snow) I'm crazy, not always stupid...

as I get older, I'm less likely to appreciate the cold... I am taking days off until Monday when the weather will warm in the Smokies... I'm a hiker, not much of a camper so get off the trail when nights go below freezing

the data shows that in the year "A Walk in the Woods" numbers of people on the trail increased by 60%
