This past weekend we had the privilege of hosting a thru hiker for a few days. Trevor is the grandson of one of our FL neighbors, and is hiking the Appalachian Trail, from Maine to Georgia. It is over 2000 miles in length, and as you might imagine by the time a hiker gets to the Smoky Mountains, they might need a break! Trevor had planned to be at Newfound Gap on Friday, long before a major winter storm was forecast. We met him about noon, and the storm rolled in that night. Another example of God's perfect timing.
We had about 4" of snow at the house, and there was almost 2 feet at Newfound Gap. The roads in the park were all closed, and Trevor ended up with us for 3 nights instead of the one we had planned. We were all grateful that he didn't have to spend those nights out in way below freezing temperatures! By Monday the roads were open, and he set out again, and sent us this picture the next day. There is STILL snow on the ground at the higher elevations, and lots of tree branches down everywhere.
