[Silver Bear]

I am doing a hike from Cades Cove to Spence Field starting on the 29th Thursday. Friday Spence Field to Double Spring Gap Saturday to Mount Collins Sunday to New Found Gap. my wife is going to drop me off and Pick me up.
I am fairly new to back packing. I have already done Fontana to Spence Field.
I live in Knoxville and would like to find someone who would like to go along.
I have to work Thursday and plan to be able to leave from Cades
Cove around 2:00 to 3:00pm.

Too bad I have to work, that is the exact section that I have to make up in the Smokies. I had to hike down into Cades Cove from Spence. You couldn't pay me to walk back up. I am thinking about trying to ride a horse up since those are horse trails as well.

Have a great hike,
