Destination – Rocky Top, Tennessee (part 1)
In the past my good friend Dave Ridge and I made a point to get at least one winter backpacking trip in each year, and for several years had our annual “Piece o’ the AT Winter Hike.” For various reasons we hadn’t been able to do that for several years, so I was pumped when Dave called to invite me along with a couple of other guys for a 2-nighter – and the scheduled worked. This past weekend we hiked around 17 or 18 miles in the Smokies, including a great side-trip up Rocky Top.
