We made it to Springer on March 5th and are now at the Hiker Hostel as I need to get my glasses fixed. With my hubby's van, we plan to slackpack the next section to Neel's Gap. Then it is a sad good bye to my hubby as we forge ahead.

For those who may be wondering, PB has a journal. Go here to read it, sign his guest book and wish him well!

**Paul Bunyan** · 03-08-2007, 09:40

Well, we did make it all the way to Woody gap, but decided to stay the night at the hiker hostel. Blissful has some kind of burning pain in her shoulder, so we are going to slack to Neels gap.

**Frolicking Dinosaurs** · 03-08-2007, 09:46

Prayers for PB and Blissful - especially Blissful's shoulder.

**frieden** · 03-09-2007, 01:32

All the best Blissful and PB. Take care of that shoulder. I've always wondered how many hikers do morning and evening stretches to avoid injury. Have fun you two!

**peanuts** · 03-09-2007, 10:14

blissful and pb, have a wonderful journey!!!!!!!!

**moondoggy** · 03-09-2007, 12:23

Good Luck PB and Blissful.......Be Careful and Have fun......

I'll be reading that journal!!!

We are at Hiawassee Inn, got off at Unicoi Gap so we can say good bye to my hubby. Plan to be at the Cloud Nine hostel in two days. Winton at Mtn Crossings at Neels Gap fixed up my pack and it's much better, esp on my shoulder. Had some knee pain coming off the mtn today but that's to be expected. Meeting lots of great people. Thanks for everyone's good wishes.

Has anyone seen them? A few of us are looking for them.

**Frolicking Dinosaurs** · 03-23-2007, 16:12

I think they are in the Smokies right now so no computer or phone access. Might want to check with Standing Bear to see if they are there yet.

In some other thread yesterday (NOBO 2007 Sightings?) they were reported to be at the Fontana Dam Shelter and heading into the Smokies.

Hi All.

We are in Hot Springs right now for a nero and zero day. Had great weather in the Smokies, probably one of the few times thrus are seen in March wearing shorts and t shirts on Clingman's Dome! It was great.

I've updated our trail journal. Thanks SO much for thinking of us.
