whathappened-here: cherokee-days: billyfatjohn: Packs lined up outside the Rivers End Restaurant at the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Their owners inside eating a big breakfast before the big climb out of the gap. Been here. This is where we hiked to on my backpacking trip. 25 miles. It was so amazing to finally see this place that I’d been working so hard to reach, & when I finally made it, man, what an amazing feeling. Miss it. I was here around the same time! But not this day because when we came through it was raining and all those packs would be turned around with covers on ‘em, haha. Also because I never had the pleasure of running into you, billyfatjohn ! Love all your photos though and saw a few familiar faces :) Thanks! It’s a cool part of the nature of our trail community, that even tho we never met, we have a little link thru those we both did. -- source link
