Itinerary:

On what could quite possibly be the hottest day of the summer we will storm the devil's kitchen. From Woody Gap we will go south on the AT approximately 9 miles till we get to the top of Sassafras Mountain. Here we will have a break with food and drinks and enjoy the summit area. There are a few stream crossings and other mountain peaks. One of the streams... Justus Creek is somewhat of an anomaly because it appears to be flowing northbound. We will try to make sense of this. Other mountain peaks include Gooch Mountain (3337) Justus Mountain (3222).

It will be hot, damn hot! Maybe 95 degrees in the Devil's Kitchen. The trail is shaded most of the way. I will have my water filter with me in case we may need to filter some water.
