The SPOT is moving down the trail. Change of personnel. J Mike Rogers and Rick Upton are hiking today.
Is about 14 miles across high terrain to US 19E near Elk Park, NC.
Johnny Mullen is at home waiting the birth of a Grandbaby!
This section has some rare open ridgelines. Photo below is Internet stock. Weather up there today is probably very cloudy, and about 40% chance of rain. Is sunny in Asheville but webcams show the top of Beech Mountain as being socked in.
