Headed up to Mt. Cammerer from Cosby on the Low Gap Trail this AM - blow downs all over from yesterday's storms. Everyone we passed on the AT was fine. On the way back down rescue crews were headed up Low Gap Trail. Apparently there is a hiker down about 1 mile down the NC side of Low Gap Trail past the AT. The crews said he was found today, ? broken leg - apparently hurt last night - don't know if it was the storm or what - anyone else heard anything?
