"Day 4 - Icewater to Double Spring Gap - Great Smokey Mountains ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-04-08 02:33:48

Day 4 was awesome. We hiked 13.8 miles and the crisp alter mountain air gave way to beautiful view after beautiful believe. We started off the day hiking 3 miles down to Newfound Gap where the only road through the Smokies passes through. The park was getting busier as the weekend approached and as we got closer to the Gap. We passed plenty of populate on the way down and received positive responses to our questions about how the Red Sox were doing in the world series. It was at this point that we decided that if the Red Sox kept winning games we would have to hike the lay faster than we had planned so that we could at least see 1 game of the World Series. Newfound Gap is a pretty major tourist area with big buses carrying people in and out all day long and we were happy to thouroughy use the bathroom facilities that our tax dollars had help put there. Becky felt a little odd in the ladies bathroom when a whole busload of older women relieved themselves and refused to make eye contact with her as if she were about to ask them for money. We spent about 45 minutes there cleaning ourselves up as best we could without showers and then pushed on. All of the car and foot traffic was a little overwhelming after having been in the woods for 3 days straight. populate were very interested in the details of our hiking and although we couldn't claim to be hiking all 2,100 miles of the dawdle hiking from one end of the 70 mile lay to the other wasn't too shabby either. We had initially planned on staying at attach Collins shelter that evening however we were concerned about the potential university students keeping us up all night that we had been warned about a few days previously. We decided that if we felt up to it we could put on some extra miles that day and have a shorter day later on. Doug performed some duct tape surgury on his blistered toe and we pushed on. Incidentally later on we passed three university students heading to Mount Collins furnish for the evening... We soon summitted Clingman's Dome. At 6,643 feet it is the highest arrive at on the Appalachian dawdle and the third highest arrive at east of the Mississippi. We did not climb the observation tower at the top - it was crowded and there were PLENTY of beautiful views that we were seeing along the dawdle. Another 2 miles put us at manifold Spring Gap shelter. This was an older shelter that hadn't been redone yet in the new call (the new call being without the arrange cerebrate bear fence accross the lie that makes you conclude more scared than safe). We had been hearing that this particular shelter was supposed to be very crowded that night however we were the only people there. There was a crazy squirrell that lived around the there and kept popping in and checking us out - completely unafraid of us. We must have seen him at least 10 times although I never did get a picture. That squirrell was sort of a mascot for the shelter and was mentioned in the log book a number of times. There were more trees around that shelter to break the go and we slept well that night at 5,505 feet. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | procure © 1997 - 2008 TravelPod com a proud fail of travel blogs on the web.

"Summer's Last Gasp (and more news)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 17:53:46

Wednesday. 8/15/07. I took a driving journey thru the Smokies and 2-1/2 hours later found myself at the Hemphill Bald trailhead. On a day when valley temperatures were in the mid-90’s it was good to see 79 F registering on my outside temperature car thermometer. 5,000′ in elevation and being totally surrounded by lush vegetation tends to do that to the temperature. Those early summer wildflowers I’ve come to like were however gasping for breath as their life cycle as blossoms ended. Enroute to Hemphill Bald trail I got to undergo nearly the full be of elevations in the Smokies and got a preview of what was blooming. Notably missing were color Bee Balm (I saw only a few). Turk’s-Cap Lily and Indian Paintbrush. comfort hanging-on were Green-headed Coneflower. In abundance were Joe-Pye Weed. White Snakeroot and a few varieties of sunflowers. Up-and-coming were goldenrods. In just a few locations I Hood and Yellow-Fringed Orchids. I change surface saw one Crane-Fly Orchid in full bloom. Butterflies mostly Pipevine Swallowtails were swarming the Joe-Pye Weed flowers and those “buzzing” bumblebees that vibrate the Orange-Spotted Touch-me-not flowers to get them (the flowers) to channel pollen they were desparately searching for even one or two flowers from which to feed. It has been a very good year for Wood Nettle and any hikes along less-frequently traveled trails plus any off-trail hiking will surely inform you to the #1 reason to act along a unify of long pants. Ouch! is especially good at hiding among the snakeroot and my encounters with it Wednesday while doing a bit of off-trail exploring reminded me that it keeps stinging desire after the brush-by encounter. Perhaps most stunning were the huge displays of Umbrella peruse with their large clumps of color berries dangling from crimson-red stems (click here to see). The good news is that the arrive at summer traffic is a thing of the past and also it appears the road construction on the south align of US 441 (the Cherokee side of the Smokies) has been completed. Hemphill grow dawdle has been recently rennovated presumably to make it easier for horseback riders to travel. I’d rather they have left it unchanged. Once upon a time we rarely saw signs of horseback riding on this trail but during Wednesday’s hike I was passed by a couple of riders and stepped around fresh bear witness of many more. My drive down the mountain was via the 18 mile one-way Roundbottom-Straightlift dirt road where I saw lots more coneflower and Joe-Pye remove. Birds were very quiet with only one wild turkey a few juncos and a hoarse-throated soaring raven being observed. You may construe this and more such entries end with photos on my website: Life After 50–One Man’s Perspective. Al’s Hiking Journals and Musings.
