Seeker is a beautiful name. I hope that you keep at it, and get out there into the wilds... It looks like beautiful country up there, and it sounds like you learned quite a bit from the journey.
GSMNP is a real nice place, was there not too long ago myself. Nice journal, thanks for posting and congrats.
What an adventure! Thanks for sharing it. It's tough to hike solo - I've had mishaps on my solo adventures but figured out how to recover, since you have no choice (and I was on lonely trails) - but you picked up a heck of a lot of self-confidence o…
Great writeup Seeker, you captured so much of what many first time hikers have experienced. I know the lessons you've learned and the experience itself will be with you always. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us. It is truly amazing what we c…
I am so proud of you Seeker! (Now that we all agree that is the perfect trail name for you) What a wonderful story and such a great example of a first time hike on the AT. You were brave to go it alone the first time. My first AT hike was with a gro…
What a great tale! I was in the smokeys in May, and have a few of the same photos. It's so beautiful! Seeker seems very well suited to the person who wrote this story. Perhaps I will see you on the FNST sometime.

On June 10th, 2009, I heaved my laden pack into my pickup and started off on an eight hour drive to north eastern Tennessee and Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP). My goals were lofty. I had never backpacked anywhere before. As a novice hike…

Smoky Mountain Soloist: A Newbie's Tale
On June 10th, 2009, I heaved my laden pack into my pickup and started off on an eight hour drive to north eastern Tennessee and Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP). My goals were lofty. I had never backpacked anywhere before. As a novice hiker in less than ideal physical condition, I had made back country reservations for four days and three nights on the trail. Some months earlier, I had become enamored with the idea of hiking the Appalachian Trail. My original plans had me on a three da… Continue
