Fri, Aug 12 2016 - Smoky Mts. Deep Creek Area 3 day 17.9 mile Backpack (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Dirk Participants: Ralph Howard, Dirk, Wayne A

The 3 of us had a good trip to the Smokies, the weather was good & the cool mornings felt great. With only getting a couple short 5 minute showers. The creeks were a nice level & we only had to wade through Noland creek 3 times before hitting the bridges again. After leaving the trailhead parking area, we only saw 8 other hikers in our 3 day hike. The yellow jackets did get 2 of us, time to pack a bee sting kit. All & all a good hike in a our beautiful national park.
