Summer Solstice 2020 (and 1974)

Today is the solstice.  But back in 1974, it was tomorrow, 'er the 21st.

So on the Appalachian Trail my journal for today (20 June 1974) noted it "Rained like hell in the P.M.  got wet of course."  That night we stayed in the Double Spring LT in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.

The next day, then the solstice, we got up late (9 am), left for Clingmans at 10:30 and arrived at 12 noon.  And of course it was fogged in.


I got my red Crusher hat on.
