10 miles
At 7:00 this morning I started calling every shuttle service in Gatlinburg. It took until 9:30 to arrange a pick-up for 10:30 for me and Chapin Lara. I walked to the Subway to buy breakfast and lunch and met Chapin at 10:30 to catch the ride. It took 30 minutes to drive up to Newfound Gap. I am glad that I did not try to hike up the road when it was closed. We crossed Charlie's Bunion today, it was a gorgeous lookout. I am so thankful to be in the Smokies in the beauty of winter. There was a lot of snow, but we made it to the shelter. I hiked about an hour after dark, but arrived safely.
