Under the weather

I caught some type of bug a couple of days ago. I've been able to stay in Gatlinburg 2 nights now. Its Saturday, and I'm hoping to be able to spend 1 more night in the lower elevation here. This would allow me to attend a church service. It was raining for hours earlier this morning. They say the temperature will drop 4 degrees every 1000 feet. The 1st shelter is at 6000 feet plus. That would mean 35 instead of 51 and raining. I'm enjoying the festive atmosphere of Gatlinburg. A Catholic Monsignor bought a motel room for me last night. There are so many nice, and caring people still in the world. There are so many things to do in this town. Almost all of them involve money, but it is fun to watch others stroll the streets in this festive atmosphere. The aquarium here sounds kike it is a very special place. There are so many other attractions, to many to mention. I hope all who read this will have a great day, Love Dan

200 miles and counting

We had snow again. We were at Fontana Dam and it snowed at 1775 feet. I was going to go up to 6500 feet. It would of been in the single digits in temperature. God continues to meet my needs as I travel the trail. I'm able to get a motel in Gatlinburg with a man on the trail tonight. Its nice to shower and clean up at least once every 10 days. Its usually in the 20's at night. My sleeping bag is a 40 degree bag so it leads to problems. I've met many nice people, and some believers. I do daily devotionals, and witness of Gods faithfulness often. My trail name is Stake and shake. It has many personal meanings. Please pray God continues to bless me with opportunities to serve him and that he continues to keep me healthy, Love Dan

Witnessing on trail

I'm getting into the smokies. God is taking care of all of us here. I've been able to witness to many, many people including 19 college students yesterday. I love you all. Daniel

Now Walking

I've given up the bicycle to walk with the Lord on the Appliation trail. God is so good. I'm able to share of his goodness and mercy daily. I love all of you, I will post, but it won't be very often. Please continue to contact me at daniel.gibbs@yahoo.com.
