The documentation of your accomplishments is for yourself only. Each hiker knows what they’ve accomplished, and that’s all that matters.

We rise early in the morning in the camp area near Fontana Dam Shelter, break camp, load Princess’s car, then retrieve Sunny’s vehicle from Nantahala Outdoor Center and mine from Hiawassee.

The Dilemma: We have five people with five fully loaded backpacks but only one vehicle. Princess is driving to Florida from this area so her trunk is already full of stuff for that trip.

The Fix: We pile our backpacks on the roof of her car, strap them to the bike racks, then pile ourselves inside. That was an easy fix.

We soon devour an over-sized breakfast in Bryson City before driving Medicine Man and Sunny back to N.O.C.
