The next day we set off from Roan Mountain with happy hearts to head into the mountains. We headed up through a pasture filled with multi flora rose - looks beautiful, but damn those exotics. We also met up with Bluebird for awhile. Lots of new trail in this area with great waterfalls. Dave Underfoot described this area as the sub-tropics of Tennessee. We had so many stream crossings we had to watch out for alligators and other deadly jungle animals. The thing about this section of trail is the data book says its a 14 mile section, but its really 17 miles. Not a big difference but if you are looking for the shelter and not finding it, you tend to get upset. We did have a nice camp next to a river a few miles south of the shelter.

Due to the macho-nature of hanging the bear bags (a.k.a., our food), Stephan and Dan were responsible for this camp duty. I awoke in the morning to find two of the bags hanging and the third bag jammed into the crotch of a limb about 4 feet off the ground. This is now known as the bear-bag debacle - hahaha!
We finally arrived at Kincora, a hostel run by Bob and Pat Peoples - awesome folks. Because of the rains that developed throughout the day, hikers began to bottleneck at the hostel and we had it filled to capacity. Bob and Pat jammed us all into their vehicles and dropped us off at the AYCE chinese buffet - which I usually wouldn't visit, however, this was a great buffet, especially for $4.50!

I am not one of those who think that the people are never in the wrong. They have been so, frequently and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say, that in all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon a par in favour of the people.
