Day started off clear, then cloudy, then mist, then thunder, rain, lightening, poured down rain. Made it to the shelter. Taryn played in the dirt and rain, got SO over tired but just wouldn't nap/sleep until we all went to bed around 8:30pm. It was a long day (up @5am, drive 4 hours, hike, etc.).
Met a nice park ranger who tented at the shelter, as well as 2 flight attendants from Atlanta. They also tented outside. We had the double decker 14-person shelter to ourselves.
Sunday we hiked back to Clingman's Dome. Harder climb than we thought it was going to be. I carried both packs most of this trip, Sarah did double duty yesterday. She's a strong trooper!

Despit the rain, we were both glad we went and it's always great to be in the mountains.
