I should have said the mighty chestnut is reduced to a short-lived understory tree because of a tiny fungus and man.
Tonight is the first time I have camped near the trail and not at a shelter. I wanted to go a few miles closer to Fontana Lake where I will get picked up to go to the McGarvey family reunion. If I arrive tomorrow evening I will be able to get a shower before I get picked up. Saw only a couple people on the trail today and I expect no one camping near me tonight. It was a tough day especially around a place called Jacobs Ladder. Started at 7:15 am and stopped at 6:00 pm for 11.6 miles. Very tired. Happy to be in my tent with all the bugs trying to get me but can't because a screen separates us. Yeah. They had enough of me all day. Although very tired, it was a good day.
