Day 24. Gatlinburg Tennessee - Zero Day

Well, I much needed zero day for me. Still holed up at the Grand Prix motel for one more night. Rash, How Bout, Julia, Colin, Spencer and many other hikers are here dodging the weather and resupplying.

Gatlinburg is defiantly the redneck Las Vegas without gambling. Tacky gift shops, wax museums, old time photos, and whiskey everywhere. Today we ventured out to the grocery store and the NOC outfitter shop for supplies. Along the way I found a Whisky Distillery advertising "Free Samples"... And sampling I did!!!!

Tomorrow we will take a shuttle back to the trail head at Newfound Gap and start hiking around 1030. For now just rest!!!

The cell service through the Smoky's is bad hence the late postings. I will try to upload some videos today...
