We night hiked on our third day in the Smoky Mountains down from Mount Sterling. We made it to make our second campsite and I go over our hammock and camping setups. At the junction of the Low Gap Trail with the Appalachian Trail we had some good conversation with some fellow hikers. All in all a great time and we ended it of course with some awesome Southern BBQ. It was an awesome trip and I'm glad we got to spend some time on the Appalachian trail.
