Hey all,
Just checking in as I get ready to head up and into the smokies tomorrow. Up to this point all has gone well. For those coming behind me, there is absolutely no shortage of water up to this point. Most days I've started with 1L and have not had any problems finding water, so save yourself a couple lbs if it suits your style.
Weather predictions for the Smokies this week looks really nice, may have gotten lucky with the timing. Check out mountain-forecast.com and search for clingman's dome. Can get weather at different elevations throughout the smokies as well as other ranges.
Interesting the differences in people you see out here: base weights from 5lbs to 25lbs. I sit at a little over 13 lbs and still seem to be in a minority. But I have what I need and a couple luxury items (electronics). Very happy with the gear choices I've made so far and being fairly light has helped me immensely, especially on those down hills.
