May 6, 1983: My camera received heavy use this morning, as I traversed another group of scenic ridges with equally picturesque names. The six miles of trail between Neels Gap and Tesnatee Gap featured a long uphill climb similar to yesterdays and some steep downhills, but most of the trail was nicely graded.

May 30, 1983: I had a mere 7-mile walk today to the establishment where I intended to stay: Nolichucky Expeditions, a whitewater rafting outfit in Erwin which allows hikers to camp in their field and use their hot showers for two dollars per night. When I got there, I just needed to pitch my tent, soak in that shower, and head into town.

Dem ist eigentlich nichts hinzuzufgen.

July 4, 1983: The first half-mile from the hut this morning climbed along the crest of the ridge forming the western rim of the ravine. This led to an interesting summit called Blackrock. It rose above the wooded ridge crest, a huge, barren mound of gray boulders smeared liberally with streaks of green paint.

I took these shots on yesterdays tour on in our nearby forest in , . It was a sunny, fresh, yet still warm . Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy hiking on these beautiful trails.

June 7, 1983: My last night in Tennessee was a stormy one, and I awoke this morning to fog and drizzle. I left the shelter at 7:40 and walked the ten miles of the Appalachian Trail to Damascus in less than four hours. It was easy trail, and I was feeling strong and confident.

July 31, 1983: The first few miles were mostly through Wawayanda State Park. Like those I passed yesterday, all the streams along the trail today were dry. Ironically, my guidebook informs me that Wawayanda is a Lenape Indian word meaning water on the mountain. Not this summer.

Side Trail

Checking out the Rainier wilderness area this morning. This is just a random shot of the tree line with a little bit of fall colors in the ground foliage with a trail leading off on the side. A simple but elegant shot. (10/21/23)

June 14, 1983: It was another steamy day. After seven miles of trudging up and down short, steep climbs, occasionally crossing hollows with sluggish brown creeks, I had a long, steep climb up to and along Chestnut Ridge to Chestnut Knob. Both were attractive. A long swath of grassy, flowering meadow ran along the ridge crest up to and past the knob.
