Day 148 - Clingman's Dome (26/11/2016)

We woke up early this morning to try and beat the crowds to Clingman's Dome (the highest point on the AT at 6,667'). I'm glad we did. While there were a few people about, we outlying got to enjoy the views quietly.

To be honest, though, I mostly just ate breakfast there. 

I was much more excited about something else: we hit the 2,000 mile mark today! I've been reluctant to count down since I preferred to focus on how far I'd come than on the end result, but it's official now. I'm thinking about the end. Seven more sleeps, 110 more miles. I can almost taste it.

The end of the day was very cold. Once again the trees were covered in ice, reminding me that I'm not entirely ready for the rest of this...

Start: Mt. Collins Shelter 

End: ???

Distance: 22.4 miles

Total: 2008.7 miles
