I used to live in Knoxville and love the GSMNP. I am doing my first thru hike on the Appalachian Trail and will be passing through the GSMNP in late March. Hopefully I will meet some of you on the trail. If you want to follow along on my journey I am going to update my blog via my cell phone. http://timeoutdoors.blogspot.com/
T.O.,
Good luck on your adventure. I bookmarked your site and will definitely follow along.
