At Mile 209.9 of the AT on Friday, May 23, 2014 (7:02 PM) Google Maps link to my location: http://maps.google.com/maps?z=14&t=m&q=loc:35.63038+-83.38757

Fog moved in at night and wind picked up making for a cool night. I finally saw my first bears, must have all been cubs as the biggest was only about 30 to 36 inches long (back only) and the other two were only about 14 to 18 inches long (guessing from about 20 feet). Hope to be out of the Smokies in 2 days and can sleep in my hammocks (must sleep in shelters do to animals).
