Day#7 10/27/21 Last day of this journey, had to cut it shorter than our plan but will pick up where we left in the Spring. Amy is already planning our trip for our Appalachian Trail continuation. This hike was our longest so far total mileage 18.9 / 11hrs 21 min. We had to finish in the dark the last 2 Miles. We started at Unicoi gap after a shuttle from Lisa, we slacked packed, which is taking out everything except snacks, water, water filters, extra clothes for cooler temps, head lamps. The hike started out climbing Rocky Mtn, we stopped at a cool site “Cheese factory Site" for lunch, meet a solo female hiker Lisa Webster Mathews and her dog Regina. They were section hiking she was on her way to Unicoi Gap. Discovered she is also a trail runner and TJM nation and has run Badger Trail race in WI same one I want to run next August 2022. Small world I have said many times! We then hiked to Tray Mtn with such beautiful views and the Foliage was spectacular. Finally finished our hike for this trip. Both of us were tired but happy with our journey. Arrived back at the Hostel with a group of friends that we discovered all nurses having a getaway. Very lively group, they departed after their partying to their cabins. Silence is golden when tired! Washed clothes, well deserved shower and packed up for tomorrow trip home. Sorry we had to cut it short but glad we didn’t have to deal with a multi-day storm.
