(Click for larger image)			What can I say ... The first day I walked uphill ALL DAY LONG! Eight hours of walking uphill with a 40 lb pack at about 1 mile an hour. My reward near the end of the day was coming upon Mt Cammerer Observation Tower in the middle of nowhere at the top of the Smokies!

The photo lab messed up my pictures so you will see some defects in the pictures. But it made the uphill climb worth it. Here I was at the top of the Smoky, miles from anywhere, looking out for miles....AWESOME!		(Click for larger image)
