Back in action...
Ruth and Dad made it to Indiana and back for my sister's wedding, and are right back at it.

Day 25 (car), and 26
Dad said they arrived in Sevierville1 Sunday night. On Monday morning, they returned the car and hitched a ride to the trailhead in Davenport Gap2. He said they got started at around 11 am, and hiked their way to a campsite "a little north of Max Patch3."
Day 27 - Hot Springs, NC
They made it to Hot Springs4, NC, yesterday, and spent the night in a hotel. Dad mentioned that they did get to soak in the springs for which the town is named, and that it was "a lot of fun" (no surprise there! 
).
Day 28
They called today from the Firetower at Rich Mountain, about 10 miles north of Hot Springs. They hoped to make somewhere around Allen Gap5 tonight.

Mike & Ruth,
Do you have any idea where you will be after hiking on Saturday. We'll be crossing the appalacian trail and Interstate 77 Saturday night. Let us know if you'll be available that night.

Hi everyone. Funny business, a woman's career: the things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. It's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted.
