When it rains in Tennessee, hikers know it

Much cooler temperatures and only five hours of hiking, which the muscles appreciated. I made it to the spring before the rain started … once again finding myself filtering water while gallons of purer water are pouring from the skies.

Hiking skirt performed admirably, though. A pair of lightweight gaiters may help keep the boots dryer, but I doubt it.

Three SOBOs joined me in the shelter to watch the rain and rant about Everything Trailwise. Two of them then decided to brave the elements and push on, but the older one chose to close up and shut down. So did I.
