Mile 426.8, Watauga Lake
Pond Mountain Wilderness was gorgeous. I believe that is my favorite section of the AT so far. The gorges were deep and narrow, the river was beautiful, and the forest burst with green. Laurel Falls was amazing. I would post pictures but my cell signal isn't strong enough.
Parts of the trail are washed out near Watauga Lake. They rerouted us down a road for about a half mile. I had to bushwack a couple times to skirt the high waters of the lake. But I finally made it to my campsite. It was raining again so day 2 of setting up in the rain. I pray for dryness and sunshine so I can dry out all my gear.

Dad (Curtis) and daughter (Laura) have talked about through-hiking the Appalachian Trail for years. We began the journey on March 27, 2013. Dad is still on the trail. Daughter hiked through GA and racked up over 100 miles.
