Tanyard Gap to Log Cabin Drive, Northbound

Tanyard Gap to Log Cabin Drive – Northbound
10.4 miles, 6.5 hours

 

 



The cabin at Hemlock Hollow.
 

Mark from Hemlock Hollow shuttled us south to Tanyard Gap where we started our hike going north this time.  There were lots of uphills today.  It was cold and windy all day.  When we were on the east side of the mountain the wind was very chilly.  We met twin girls again today (we have been passing back and forth with them on the trail several times), and found out their names are Kacie and Meagan from Vermont.  They are traveling on pretty fast it seems.  I hope they make it all the way to Maine. 



A beautiful section of the trail through the
rhododendrums thicket.

 





We passed the 282.8 mile marker of the AT.
We have completed approximately 210 miles of it.



One of the more pleasant sections of the trail

We arrived at Log Cabin Drive around 3:30 in the afternoon and walked the .6 down to the hostel.  We found out later that if we could have called them for a free pickup at the trail.  Oh well.  We stayed the night in the same cabin.
