25 May: Took a zero day at Cantarrosa Farm. Resupplied and ate Italian for dinner.

26 May: Zero day at Uncle Johnny’s Hostel. Pizza buffet for lunch and Mexican for dinner.
27 May: Hiked 10.7 miles to a campsite vicinity Unaka Mountain road and a spring… .2 miles after Beauty Spot.



28 May: I came down with diarrhea in the evening the night before, so I took Imodium and rested in place for the day. I spent all my time sleeping in my tent; it was the most sleep I had so far on the trail.
29 May: Hiked 24 miles to Roan High Knob Shelter. I stayed the night for the first time in a shelter. *Correction 1 June: that was the second shelter I stayed in…I forgot about the first shelter in the Smokies*




30 May: Hiked 16+ miles to Mountain Harbour B&B. A few miles into my hike, Redbull and I, by chance, met again. Redbull had spent the past several days hiking and visiting his girlfriend. I was happy to be hiking with him again, earlier than I thought possible.
