Disheartened ?

But on he went, without being disheartened, deeper and deeper into the wood, where the most wonderful flowers were growing. Andersen's Fairy Tails by Hans Christian Andersen

There are more miles to walk, more flowers to see, more people to meet and more of whatever God intends for me to experience.

Nick drove me back to Clingmans Dome this morning, 4-15-13. I slack packed to Newfound Gap and entered my 3rd State. I want to complete the Smokys and go on to Hot Springs. At that point I hope to be stronger. If so, I will continue the journey.

Some pics from today.
