This section marked another milestone, mile 400 was crossed.
Another cemetery on the trail. Again testing out some camera filters.
Spent a partial rainy day cooking up some trail magic; grilled cheese and warm apple cider. This canopy is coming in handy. The Volvo backs up right under it. Some hikers that dropped by included Taco from Kansas, Nobo Lobo from New Zealand, Flip Flop from Pennsylvania , Downhill from Virginia, Rolodex from Kuwait and Hero from Georgia.
The approach to Laurel Falls, mile 421. A great hike along the Laurel Fork.
Warrior Princess and CornDog taking a dip into Watauga Lake, mile 429.
Finally made it to Boots Off hostel. Way back during our first week on the trail we came across these guys. They were set up, grilling burgers for hikers. It’s kind of a milestone to finally make it to their hostel.
