Weather: broken clouds

Gra34us rytas i¡au¡o Hot Springs miestelyje. Atsisveikinau su kava begerianciu kolega ir patraukiau tu¡cia pagrindine gatve tilto per French Broad River link. Ties ¢Spring Creek¢ restoraneliu, kuriame vakar valgiau, paskambinau Rimai ir tuo paciu ja pa34adinau. Norejosi i¡girsti jos miela balsa, norejosi pasikrauti energijos, nes priekyje lauke ilga ir nelengva diena.Perejus tilta i¡ prad34iu takas vede palei upes kranta, o paskui staiga ¡ove kairen, kildamas kalno ¡laitu iki Lover¢s Leap Rock skard34io. Nuo jo atsiveria puikus vaizdas i 34emiau plytinti ir dar vis snaud34ianti Hot Springsa.Spring Mtn Shelter sustojau u34spilti i¡ ¡altinio vandens. Dar nebuvau mates, kad stalas ties ¡elteriu butu papuo¡tas gelemis. Ta nediduke puok¡tele nuteike labai smagiai, primindama jaukius namus.Ka34kodel nesijauciau ¡iandien stipriai, todel pasiekti Little Laurel Shelter prireike ne tik fiziniu bet ir moraliniu jegu. Man visada pirma diena po miesto yra sunki. Kuprine tada yra pati sunkiausia. Be to reikia palikti miesto teikiamus patogumus: gera lova vie¡butukyje, ¢tikra¢ maista, komunikacija su artimaisiais. Nesine¡u savo mobilaus telefono. Kai eini ilga kelia, nematai artimu 34moniu, ¡iuo atveju Rimos, jautiesi vieni¡as ir atsiranda pavojus da34nai skambinant tapti ikyriu. Susiradau lygia aik¡tele, pasistaciau palapine ir stipriai pavalges atsiguliau ilsetis.                         ---|---Beautiful morning dawned in Hot Springs town. I said goodbye to a colleague who has his coffee drink. And then I¢ve walked on the empty main street toward the bridge over the French Broad River. At Spring Creek restaurant, I called to Rima and at the same time to awakening her. I wanted to hear her sweet voice, I wanted to recharge, because in front of me waited a long and difficult day.After crossing the bridge, at the first, trail led along the bank of the river, and then suddenly shot to the left, ascending the hill slope to Lover's Leap rock cliff. From here, I¢ve had breathtaking views of the lying below and still sleeping Hot Springs.At Spring Mtn Shelter, I stopped for water. I have never seen that the shelter¢s table is decorated with flowers. The miniature posy makes me cheerfully, pointing to the cozy home.Somehow I did not feel strong today, so to reach Little Laurel Shelter needed not only physical but also moral strength. The first day after the city is always difficult to me. Backpack then is heavy, and I¢ve to leave the city and their facilities: a soft bed in the hotel or hostel, "real" food, communication with loved ones. I did not bring my cell phone. Walking a long way, not seeing loved ones, in this case Rima, makes me feel lonely, and that often threatens to become bothersome caller.I did found a nice spot to pitch the tent, ate dinner, and lay down to rest.

Pasistaciau palapine ties Frozen Knob, nuejes kone devyniolika myliu. Gerai 34inau ¡ia vieta, nes 2009-ais nuo cia padariau eile nuotrauku su beproti¡kai gra34iu sauletekiu. Vandens cia nera, todel ma34daug prie¡ pora myliu u34pild34iau juo visas talpas. Turetu u34tekti vakarienei, rytojaus pusryciams ir dar kelionei iki sekancio ¡altinio.Visa chebryte, kuri ejo paskui mane, sustodavo ir su neslepiamu pavydu 34iuredavo i mano stovykla. Jie irgi gal but noretu cia apsinakvoti, tik viena problema juos verte eiti toliau ¢ vanduo, o jis - tik u34 triju myliu ties Hogback Ridge Shelter. Tiesa, cia buvo nusprende pasilikti nakvoti keli vaikinai su minimaliu kiekiu vandens, bet, kai a¡ i¡ anksto pasakiau kad lau34o cia niekas nekurs, susirinko daikciukus ir nuejo toliau.  iandien cia yra mano ¢kiemas¢ ir mano tvarka.Orai laikosi nuostabus, nebekankina ¢vaiki¡kos¢ haikeriu ligos, t.y. koju neskauda, pusliu nera, kuprine nesunki... Todel visa demesi galima skirti mintims, stebeti gamta, klausytis mi¡ko sakmiu. Koks vis tik puikus vazdas veriasi nuo cia i tolumoje padumavusi Big Bald kalna ir i 34emai besidriekianti sleni, mirguliuojanti milijonais 34aliu atspalviu. Pavasaris, pavasaris...                                       ---|---Today I went nineteen mile and pitch tent at the Frozen Knob. OK, I know this place, since the 2009-s trip. From here I have done a number of shots with wildly beautiful sunrise. Water is not available here, so, about a couple of miles before I filled up all containers. It should be enough for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, or even for a trip to the next source.All guys, who went after me, stopped and stared with unconcealed envy of my camp. They also maybe like to spend the night here, only one problem had forced them to go further - water, and water - just three miles at Hogback Ridge Shelter. There were a few guys, who decided spent the night with a minimal amount of water, but, when I was told them beforehand that nobody here will make fire, have gathered their gear and moved on. Today here it is my ¢yard¢ and my order.Weather keeps wonderful, I do not have "children¢s" hiker disease, i.e. feet does not hurt, any blisters, and backpack is lite ... Therefore, attention is paid to thoughts, to observe nature, and to listen the forest Stories. What a great View opens up on the distance from here to the smoky Big Bald Mountain, and to the valley, which runs down, flickering in million shades of green. Spring, spring ...

Prie¡ i¡au¡tant rytui ¡liuk¡telejo stiprus lietus, ir palapine susideti reikejo ¡lapia. I taka gri34au pro vakaryk¡ciu kaimynu stovykla. Pasisveikinau ir jie, mane pamate, labai nustebo, kadangi mane esa vieni. Paklause manes kaip a¡ praleidau nakti ir a¡ pasakiau kad puikiai. O jie pasirodo puse nakties plaukiojo ¢baseine¢, nes vakar jie savo palapine pasistate iduboje, kuri greitai u34sipilde vandeniu. Palinkejau gero kelio ir truktelejau toliau.Visa diena su perstojais lijo ir tik prie¡ pat Nolichucky upe galutinai i¡sigiedrijo. Kelias ¡iandiena yra neilgas ir smagus. Po lietaus mi¡ke pasklido svaiginantis, pilnas gyvybes kvapas. Tada, vienu momentu sustojau, u34simerkiau ir kuri laika pilna krutine giliai kvepavau, isivaizduodamas esas rojuje.Vidurdieni pasiekiau Uncle John¢s Hosteli ir apsistojau viename jo kambareliu. Hostelis yra pilnas 34moniu ir a¡ niekaip negaliu priprasti prie tokios, geraja prasme, kaimenes. 12inoma, ar a¡ to noriu ar nenoriu, privalau prisitaikyti prie esamos situacijos, 34iureti i viska paprasciau ir lanksciau planuoti savo haikinimo strategija.Apie ketvirta, koks de¡imt ¢ dvylika musu susigrude autobusiukan, nuva34iavome i Erwin miesteli apsipirkti ir pavalgyti. A¡ pasirinkau meksikieti¡ka restorana ir neapsirikau; man patinka ju a¡trus patiekalai.                                          ---|---In the night, just before dawn, poured hard rain, and in the morning I had to pack a wet tent. The trail went through yesterday's neighbor¢s camp. I said hello, and they were extremely surprised to see me, because they believed they were alone. Guys asked me how I spent the night, and I said that great. They were not so lucky. It turned out half of the night they spent in a "swimming pool", because yesterday they pitched their tent in a hollow, which quickly filled with water. I wished them a nice day and moved.Throughout the day, it was rained continuously with short breaks, but just before the Nolichucky River sky finally cleared. The route today was a short and pleasant. After the rain, forest spread heady, full of life breath. Then, at one point I stopped, closed my eyes, and for some time deep-chested breathed, imagining himself in paradise.At noon, reached Uncle John's Hostel and stayed at one of his snug. The hostel is full of hikers, and I cannot get used to the herd of people, in such a good sense. Of course, whether I want it or do not, I have to adapt to the current situation, to look at things simpler and develop my hiking strategy in more flexible way. At fourth o¢clock, about ten ¢ twelve of us crowded the van, drove to the Erwin for shopping and dining. I chose a Mexican restaurant, and I was not mistaken. I like their spicy food.

Nelabai kuo pasi34yminti diena. Visu pirma, pats hostelis paliko bloga ispudi: triuk¡mas, alasas ir girtu stripinejimas. A¡ ¡iek tiek gailejausi kad i¡ prad34iu nenuva34iavau i Erwina ir neapsistojau vie¡butyje. Bet dabar yra viskas gerai: 34ingsniuoju taku ir slogi nuotaika po truputi blesta.Kai pasiekiau Beauty Spot, ant pieveles jau buvo i¡site¡ke u34kand34iauti keli haikeriai, tad beliko prie ju prisideti ir palaikyti kompanija. Nuo kalvos atsivere vaizdas i 34emai esanti Erwin miesteli, o pasukus galva ir i stuksanti Unaka kalna su neiprastu ¡ioms platumoms eglynu vir¡uneje.Ties Low Gap pasipild34iau vandens. Labai geras ¡altinis cia teka. Dabar a¡ nedezinfekuoju ¡altinio vandens, kaip tai dariau 2006-ais metais, jeigu matau kad srove tiesiai i¡ po 34emiu ver34iasi.Cherry Gap pasistaciau palapine idealioje vietoje: lygus 34emes lopi¡elis, i¡ vienos puses apsaugotas nukritusio med34io kamieno. Cia netoliese esantis ¡altinis velgi yra puikus. Dar ir nusiprausiau visas. Pagrindinis vakaro darbas ¢ pasistatyti palapine ir i¡sivirti ko¡es. Labai daug neeksperimentuoju su vakariene ir todel galimi tik du pasirinkimai: ry34iai, pagardinti prieskoniais ir ¢kuskus¢. Labiausiai man patinka su kariu ir su kepintais kedro rie¡utais. Na ir 34inoma kar¡ta kakava, tokia tir¡ta kad labiau pane¡eja i skysta ¡okolada.Stovyklavieteje vel pilna palapiniu. Koks penkiolika- dvide¡imt mini namuku pristatyta.---|---Not the most distinguished day. First of all, Uncle Jonny¢s Hostel left a unpleasant impression: noise, and clamor of drunk. I'm a little regretted that initially did not drive to the Erwin. But now everything is OK: I¢m walking on the trail, and oppressive mood slowly fading.When I¢ve reached the Beauty Spot, on the lawn already were snacking few hikers, so I joined a company. From the hill¢s overlook, below was seen Erwin and turning head right - loom Unaka Mountain with an unusual in these latitudes spruces wood on top.At Low Gap, I filed up water. Here, a good spring is flowing. Now I do not disinfect the spring water, as I did in 2006 s, when I see that water flow directly out of the ground.At Cherry Gap tentsite, I¢ve found ideal flat spot protected by a fallen tree trunk at one side. Here, a nearby spring is again excellent. Even washed myself thoroughly all. The main work of the evening ¢ to set up tent and make the dinner. I have not experimented much with dinner, and so there are only two choices: Lipton rice, seasoned with spices and couscous. I like with curry and roasted pine nuts. Well, of course, don¢t forget hot cocoa, so thick that resembled liquid chocolate.Camp once again is full - here stands about fifteen to twenty tent.

05/08/12 (antradienis) 18.8 ¢ 401.5 Overmountain ¢ Campsite  i naktis buvo labai triuk¡minga. Ne, nepagalvokite kad ka34kas aplinkui ¡ukalojo. Prad34ioje vejas stengesi i¡purtyti mane i¡ palapines, o kai tai nepasiseke, pasiunte lietu, kuris visa nakti barbeno stogan. Sunkiai sekesi miegoti, reikes kam¡tukus ausims isigyti. ios dienos kelione pradejau vis dar lyjant. Ir taip - kokias keturias valandas. Vienu metu tarp Little Hump ir Hump kalnu lietus apstojo ir a¡ turejau galimybe pafotografuoti. Taciau ant Hump vir¡unes gamtos gaivalai visai isismarkavo. Tai a¡, panarines galva lyg bulius, nuejau 34emyn Houston ketera iki u34uovejos kur ir apsistojau u34kasti. Ties 19-tu plentu aik¡teleje jau buvo susirinke visi mano pastaruju dienu bendra34ygiai: Elis, Stiks, Metric ir ¡veicaras Nifas. Pastarajam nelaime atsitiko: paslydo ant akmenu ir 34iauriai susimu¡e keli. Dabar jis klibik¡ciuoja su i¡ Elio pasiskolintu antkeliu. Nieko jam nebelieka, kaip laikinai palikti taka ir tranzuoti iki artimiausio miestelioko. Duok dieve kad nebutu trukes meniskas. Jeigu taip, tai Nifas tures atsisveikinti su AT. Toks yra realus gyvenimas, a¡ ta 34inau i¡ savo karcios patirties.Trys dienos 34ygio liko iki Damasko, kur nauji sportbaciai laukia i¡si34ioje pa¡te. Seni gi jau atiduoda galus. Dabar guliu palapineje savo ¢nuosavoje¢ stovykloje, ¡alia upelis ciurlena ir mano siela ramina. Tai tiek.---|---The night was terribly noisy. No, I do not think that something around vociferated. Initially, the wind tried to shake me out of the tent, and when that failed, he sent rain to knock the roof all night. I found it difficult to sleep, ear plugs will need to purchase.The day trip started still in the rain. And yes ¢ it rained for the next four hours. At one point between the Hump and Little Hump mountain rain stopped and I had the opportunity to take few shots. But on top of Hump, elements of nature become fully ferocious. I¢ve dropped my head like a bull, went down to Houston ridge where I found refuge from wind and rain and stayed to eat. At the Highway 19 site have already been gathered all of my colleagues in recent days: Elis, Sticks, Metric and Swiss Niff. Niff accident happened: he slipped on the rocks and brutal crashed the knee. Now he is limping with borrowed from Elis knee brace. He is no longer can walk and have temporarily to leave the trail. Now he hitchhiking to the nearest town hospital. God graces, we have to pray that meniscus isn¢t cracked. If so, Nifas will have to say goodbye to AT. This is real life, I know that from my bitter experience.Three days left till Damascus, where another pair of trail runners shoes at the post office waiting buskers. Old shoes gives away ends. Now I reside in a tent in my own camp, near the brook ripples and soothes my soul. That's it.

05/09/12 (treciadienis) 14.8 ¢ 416.3   Campsite - Kinkora Hostel Puikiai i¡simiegojau savo palapineje. Dvi valandas oras buvo ramus. Apsiniaukes dangus nekele jokio rupescio ir 34igiuoti buvo visai smagu. Veliau papute ¡altas vejas, pradejo dulkti, o netrukus ir lyti. Tokios ¢miserable¢ oro salygos tesesi iki pat Kinkoros.  ita tako dalis yra gan nuobodi ir norejosi kuo greiciau palisti po du¡u, ka a¡ su did34iausiu malonumu ir padariau, vos tik susiradau sau nakvynes vieta.Veliau Bobas visa musu komanda nuve34e i Elizabeton miesteli apsipirkti. Iki Damasko ¢ tik dvi dienos 34ygio, todel nusipirkau tik minimuma maisto, o ¡ios dienos vakarienei ¢ puse vi¡tuko ir dideli rauginta agurka.Paciame hostelyje Baltimore Jack, kuri buvau sutikes Walace-Yi centre savo keliones prad34ioje, padare spec. patiekala, taciau a¡ buvau jau toks pilnas, todel tik padekojau ir patikinau kad paragausiu jo ¢meno kurinio¢ rytoj ryte.

Jis organizuoja 34mones tako tvarkymui ir neretai jo relokacijai. A¡ pats dalyvavau tokioje misijoje dar 2009-ais metais. Taigi, ka34kuria prasme, Bobas yra unikalus 34mogus ir 34mones ji myli.Tai tiek ¡iandien.---|---Slept very well in my tent. Two hours the air was calm, cloudy sky do not concern me and walk was pretty fun. Later blew cold wind, began to drizzle, and soon the it rains. Such "miserable" weather conditions continued until Kinkora. This part of the trail is pretty boring, and I wanted as soon as possible to slid under the shower, which I did as I found myself at the place of stay.Later, Bob, took our entire team to Elizabethton for resupply at shop. Damascus - only two days hike, so I bought only a minimum of food, and for today¢s dinner ¢ half fried chicken and a huge pickle.In the hostel Baltimore Jack, whom I met Walasi-Yi center at the beginning of my journey, made special meal, but I was already so stuffed, so just thanked and assured that will taste his "work of art" tomorrow morning. He currently helps oversee Bob hostel and is very fine man.Little bit about Kinkora itself. Its owner, Bob Peoples, a former military officer, now retired, is entirely devoted to this matter: transports hikers for shopping, hostel price - just $ 4 donation for the night. He organizes people to maintain the trail the and often its relocation. I participated in that kind of the mission back in 2009-s year. So, in a sense, Bob is a unique person and people love him.That¢s all for today.

05/10/12 (ketvirtadienis) 25.8 ¢ 442.1 Kinkora Hostel ¢ Uncle GrinstaffPrabudau anksti ir kad nepa34adinciau kitu mieganciu, tyliai nusine¡iau visus savo daiktus i pirma auk¡ta. Netrukus ir Hot Shot pasirode. Jis irgi matyt megsta anksti ryte keltis. U34sivireme kavos ir mikrobangeje pasi¡ildeme vakaryk¡cio Baltimore Jack paruo¡to patiekalo. Kuri laika 34ygiavome kartu, bet ties Laurel Falls musu keliai i¡siskyre: Hot Shot lipa i Pond kalna, o a¡ kartoju savo ¢09 metu kelia ir einu 321 plentu. Sunku eiti plentu, nes eismas cia yra labai aktyvus ir pakankamai pavojingas. Nepatinka man tas Pondas. Vis prisimenu kaip ¢06 jis manes vos nepribaige. Ir dar. Jeigu a¡ i ji kopsiu, tai nebusiu Damaske penktadieni. Mano nauji Rimos atsiusti batai laukia pa¡te! O ¡e¡tadieni pa¡tas dirba tik dvi valandas ¢ nuo devyntos iki vienuoliktos valandos ryto. Taigi, pasakiau Hot Shot, kad ¡iais metais a¡ nesu ¢grynuolis¢ ir pasukau greitesniu keliu. ¢Grynuoliais¢ vadinami tie, kurie eina sekdami kiekviena balta tako 34ymekli, o a¡ ¡iais metais pasiry34es kuo daugiau naudotis takais pa34ymetais melynu 34ymekliu ir eiti kitais alternatyviais keliais. AT nera pastovus, jis da34nai relokuojamas, ir kur anksciau buvo ¢baltas¢ tampa ¢melynu¢, o kartais ir atvirk¡ciai.Nakvoti nusprend34iau ties Uncle Ginstaff monumentu. Dar ¢09 cia maciau nakynei apsistojusius 34mones ir, paie¡kojes informacijos, supratau kad cia nakvoti yra visai gerai. Taigi pasistaciau savo palapine, i¡siviriau valgyti ir stebiu kaip saule krypsta vakarop. Gra34i buvo ¡i diena ir man nuotaika yra puiki...---|---Woke up early and quietly carried off all my belongings to the first floor. Soon Hot Shot came out. He also apparently likes to get up early in the morning. Made coffee and microwaved yesterday's Baltimore Jack¢ the prepared dish. Some time we hiked together, but after the Laurel Falls we went separate ways: Hot Shot climbs the Pond Mountain, and I headed toward 321 highway. It is hard to walk on the highway because traffic here is very heavy and fairly dangerous. I do not like the Pond. I still remember how Pond in '06 just did not finish me. And more. If I have to climb Pond, I will not be in Damascus on Friday. My new shoes send by Rima are waiting in the Post Ofice! Current shoes are failing apart. And on Saturday Post has only two work hours - from nine to eleven o'clock in the morning. So, I said Hot Shot, that this year I am not a purist and determined to get the most of the paths marked with a blue blaze and have other a possible routes. AT is not constant, it is often relocated, and when once trail was "white" becomes "blue", and sometimes vice versa. "Purists" are those who walk by following each of the white trail blaze. I decided to spend the night at Uncle Ginstaff monument. In '09, I saw people staying night's here, so later I googled, I realized that there is a pretty good place to spend a night. Set up the tent, cooked and have eaten. Now I am sitting on the bench and watching how the evening sun moves to the west ending this beautiful day...

Vos ne dvide¡imt penkias mylias numaskatavau.Nakti puikiai miegojau ir ryte atsikeliau visi¡kai pailsejes. Net keista. Matyt ¡i vieta yra tikrai gera.  uns kaukimo dvylikta valanda irgi negirdejau.  i tako dalis iki Damasko yra ¡iek tiek nuobodoka, be vaizdu, taciau nesunki. Prie¡ pat Shades Valley radau trailmagic: gele34ineje de34eje sudetus gerimelius. Tokios smulkios dovaneles haikerius ypac gerai nuteikia. Taigi, nusiemiau kuprine ir papusryciavau prie ¡ito dovanu ¡altinio.Puse ¡e¡iu a¡ jau buvau Damaske, tradici¡kai apsistojau Place vietoje ir pasineriau i miesto teikiamus patogumus: i¡siprausiau po kar¡tu du¡u, suvalgiau mil34ini¡ka u34dara Calzone pica ir su Rima prapliurpiau kokia valanda. Tiesa, Wi-Fi buvo tik ties vietiniu mobilios telefonijos dileriu. Ant lango kabejo u34ra¡as apie nemokama Wi-Fi, o lauke pastatytas suolas buvo labai patogus. Taigi, palyginus su mi¡ku, man tai buvo absoliuti civilizacija. Vienu 34od34iu, ¡i diena ¢ fantasti¡ka, o rytoj manes laukia ¢nuline¢ diena. Ilsesiuosi, pasiimsiu i¡ pa¡to siuntini, valgysiu ir megausiuosi gyvenimu. ---|---Today is a day of running with obstacles. Almost twenty-five miles under feet.At night, I slept well and got up in the morning fully rested. Even odd. Apparently this place is quite good. I did not hear dog howling at the twelfth o¢clock because¢¦I slept like dead.This part of the trail to Damascus is a little boring, with no images, but mild. Just before Shades Valley I have found trail magic: an iron box filled with soda cans. These small gifts predispose hikers especially well. So, I took off backpack and ate my breakfast at this gift¢s source.Half to six o¢clock I have been in Damascus and traditionally stayed at Place. Then I have dived into pleasures of the city: took a hot shower, eaten a huge calzone pizza and talked to Rima almost an hour. By the way, Wi-Fi was only at a local mobile phone retailer. On the window was hanged the inscription about free Wi-Fi and outdoor bench outside was very comfortable. A comparison of the forest, this small rural town, was an absolute civilization. In a one word, this day - fantastic, and tomorrow - waiting "zero" day. I¢m going to rest, pick up a parcel from the post office, eat and enjoy life.

Kuprine mano sunkoka, nes prisikroviau maisto penkiu dienu kelionei iki sekancio pasipildymo.  iandien einu su naujais batais ir turiu nauja Marmot Super Mica striuke nuo lietaus. Ji yra pusantro ¡imto gramu lengvesne ir pagal atsiliepimus turetu pasirodyti gerai.Oras visa diena buvo apsiniaukes su dulksna, kuri i dienos pabaiga virto lengvu lietumi. Dabar esu jau Lost Mtn ¡elterio kaiminysteje. Guliu palapineje sotus ir klausausi kaip lietus barbena i stoga. Vidurdieni trumpam buvau sustojes Saunders ¡elteryje u34kasti ir pailseti. Jis yra pastatytas labai gra34ioje vietoje: placioje mi¡ko aik¡teleje po ilgaspygliu pu¡u vainikais. Tai tiek.---|---In the morning, I ate my breakfast and said goodbye to the Place caretaker. Before, I kindly talked with him and thanked - everything there is a lot neater and cleaner than in my previous visits.Backpack is filled with five-day food to the next recharge. Today I am going with the new shoes, and I have a new Marmot Super Mica jacket from the rain. It is one hundred and fifty grams lighter than my older rain jacket, and from reviews should do quite well.Weather was overcast all day with drizzle, which in the end of the day turned into a light rain. Now I¢m resting in a tent near Lost Mtn shelter and listening to the rain falling on the roof. At noon, I stopped briefly at Saunders shelter to snack and relax. It is built in a very beautiful place: the vast forest site under long needles pine wreaths. That's it.
