Pickled Peaches and a Very Strenuous Hike

So I got the bright idea to hike up to Clingmans Dome today from deep creek…right now I’m curled up in the fetal position wondering what was I thinking…my figure’s cramping up…ahh…its 11.8 miles from deep creek to Clingmans Dome Road…its probably another mile to the parking lot and then it’s like a half mile up to the dome. My body hates me…I started at 1:00pm and finished at 10:00pm…this hole is strenuous…that’s Stren U Ous! Hope you enjoy I’m going to lay here in agony….well that’s dramatic…no it’s not agony…I’ll write more on www.brysoncityoutdoors.com/blog/….enjoy :)
