Wow! Great trip report with some nice pictures. I was laughing so hard when I read:
"we blew by a trio of older women from New Jersey hacking up their smoker's coughs like they were standing still. They were standing still, and never made it to the top, but you get the idea."
The wife actually ran over to the computer to see what I was up to.
Great trip report and some good mountains for me to research for my east coast hikes...
Great story! I got fogged in at Clingman's too. Despite the iffy weather and the clouds, I totally agree that North Carolina is absolutely beautiful. Good luck with the quest for Highpoints!
I really loved your story! We have all made beginner mistakes and I love the enthusiastic ending. I hope you have conquered many high points since posting:)
