5 Lizards, 2 deer and 1 lady's slipper. Not to shabby for our last day on the trail. Also, we stopped at a the Shuckstack fire tower on the day down for the most impressive views we've had on the trip. It was gorgeous to see the layers of mountains. We counted 7 at one point. And the ridges that we've been walking look even more impressive when seen laid out across the range. Overall, a great last day to our 68 miles through the smokies and a nice finish to our thru-hike.
The shelter we are at tonight is packed with thru-hikers. Very fun. They've got a fire going and everyone is in good spirits. This shelter is called the "hilton" because it's the best shelter in the part of the trail but more because there are flush toilets and hot (hot!) Showers. Pretty awesome. Also, there's a little resort village nearby so we sent Jon, Jamie and Laurens ahead to go into town and bring up back pizza and beer. Great celebratory night!
