Appalachian Trail Hwy 19, TN - New Found Gap, TN ~ September 27-29, 2001 |

| Where do I begin ... This trip was AWESOME! The weather was perfect. At first I was concern when the weather person gave colder than usual nights ahead. But, everything work out great. Let me first describe the plan for the trip. | ||||
|
The plans was to hike from Hwy 19 (Exit 451 upper right of map) to Newfound Gap (lower left). I would spend two nights out. Staying the first night at Cosby Knob, and the second at Peck's Corner shelter. I called ahead of time to reserve space in the shelter, because that is the rule for hiking in the Smoky's.

| As you can see from the elevation the first day would be a continual uphill climb with the trail leveling off about the third day. Let's hit the trail. | ||||
