I was surprised to see Fizz and Carver and to learn they are thru-hiking the AT. They are Smokies regulars. This photo (taken Sunday April 15th) shows Carver, me, Fizz and their friend, Count Choco'la at Campsite #113, 5 miles south of Mollies Ridge Shelter.
As a Ridgerunner for years in the Smokies. I have camped with Fizz and Carver many times and have come to appreciate their friendship and, particularly, their conscientious, leave-no-trace, backcountry ways. Two, true Tennessee mountain boys!
