After a long hot hike, we arrived at Van Deventer LT in Tennessee. My legs and arms were scratched from all the pricker bushes along the AT. It was a 20 plus mile day from Moreland Gap LT.
About midday, we crossed the river below Laurel Falls.
On Section 4, between Wilbur Lake and Watauga Dam Road, the guidebook said it as 1.58 miles. My handwritten notes state "this section makes an excellent 3-4 day traverse & should be undertaken only by idiots." That gives you a taste of the Ups and Downs.
By 730 pm we reached our home for the evening and a fireworks free evening.
We only had 45 miles to go to reach Virginia and the town of Damascus, also a mail drop.
