June 28th, Tennessee - North Carolina and
You might expect that for hikers who begin their trek in March, but me? I started in June.
Took me 45 minutes to get my SVEA 123 stove to work.
"Boy is it cold & wet & windy." Camped about 0.4 mile north of Big Bald.
Funny, now that I am writing this for 1974 BC (before cellphones and computers) I can look up the neighboring weather of that date. This station is not on the top of the mountain so 60 degrees F is not too bad. But drop the temperature 15 degrees (elevation) add exhaustion, plus a wet hiker and you get the picture.
