Met "One Leg" this past Monday morning about a half mile from the Wesser Bald Shelter. He was with his daughter and they were headed for the Nantahala River Gorge. They were doing OK, but were a little cold and concerned about the steep downhill ahead of them.

It was a rainy day and this section of trail is notoriously slick when wet. It's tough enough for hikers with two legs on a sunny day.

I didn't get to see him come in, but several hikers said he made down later that afternoon. His son and several friends were there to greet him.

Happy Trails "One Leg",
