Drive day

Arrived at Fontana Dam southern foot of the Smokey Mountain National Park 8pm.
The office was already closed up so no permits could be purchased - here we go....
Plus the dam was Closed over the top due to const but snuck across at dark (really setting up to be a Motz adventure).
Found the AT trail head and into the wild with an Immediate climb up through woods. We hiked up for about  a mile  and setup a stealth camp, me hammock hanging and Dan tenting up against a tree to keep from rolling off  mountain side. Bedding down and fired up for the adventure.
Note these posts are on a 1/week delay due to there being no service available. On our way home now. So at least you know we survived....each other and the adventure. But oh there were times....... Hope you enjoy pics and narrative
