[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 4046506, member: 10019"] Crazy story but what happened was I started feeling sick around Rocky Top so I decided to hike down into Gatlinburg via Goshenprong Trail. I got into some real bad "skeeters" at Fontana and of course my mind started wandering and I was thinking I had west nile or some death diseases and I didnt want to die on the mountain. So instead of hiking the 2.2 miles on the Clingmans Dome and hitching a ride down I decided the most logical thing to do was hike to Gatlinburg, yes that was a long walk down. Two days later I went to a walk in clinic and they tested me for the flue, someone how I caught type B flue. Relieved because I wasnt going to die from West Nile, yet confused because how in the heck did I catch the flue in July hiking alone 90% of the time[emoji53] Once feeling better I started back at I-40 and hiked back towards Clingmans, which left me that little 2.2 mile section untouched... Yes, I am the moron that hiked up from Fontana and up from I-40 into the Smokies, like Tred Barta I do it the hard way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
