Blue Mtn Shelter to Deep Gap Shelter -15.5 Miles

Unfortunately Spills left me this morning at Unicoi Gap to take care of his neck pain.  I immedimately had two big climbs.  The trails were in great condition today,  It rain most of the morning and started storming this evening, I reached the shelter before it got bad,  This afternoon I saw a large deer and a baby bear.  The cub was near the trail went I first saw it but it shot up a tree and started crying for Mom.   I stood there for a couple of minutes looking for mom but went she didn’t appear I started hiking. I also met my Thru hiker this afternoon, his trail name is “Popeyes” .  He lives in the DC area and is flip/flopping from Harper’s Ferry to Springer and then Katakin to Harper’s Ferry.  He starts in Maine on August 20 so we should meet again on the trail in Maine.   Unfortunately no photos today because my I-phone does work unless my skin  is dry and that never happened today.
