It was my first day in the Smokies and it was hot and sweaty. Stayed in Russell Field LT. "Saw a buck sitting around the campfire." And "this is what the AT is all about."
The climb from Fontana was "rough hiking." Cooked Lipton's Chicken Supreme w/ Wine, alright."
Lipton used to make these freeze dried noodle dishes and they were great for camping. The freeze dried part probably wasn't popular for regular kitchens, so I guess that is why we don't see it anymore.
Now, I know I am in NC and TN hiking in 1974, but I just got this history of the GATC in the mail and from my quick glance, some great reading ahead. It is available from Amazon, but buy it direct from the GATC for quick delivery.
