I wanted to thank everyone for all of their posts, insights and suggestions over a multitude of threads for help making our latest section hike (Neel to Fontana Dam) successful. We are on our last resupply at NOC and are taking a zero day.

We met a ton of interesting people and enjoyed listening to the trail stories. The views are amazing and the solitude of the trail was rewarding.



While we didn't stay in a Shelter I was quite disturbed by the trash at the camp sites and shelters on these sections especially Low Gap Shelter camp area where someone left a tent, poles, pants and other stuff.

Fire rings were filled with half burned items or those which wouldn't burn to begin with.

Another site had a sock in the fire ring and shorts left on a fallen tree.

While I'm not perfect we made every effort to leave the areas behind us as clean as possible.
