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

Steak,
This is Jake. I was in the shelter with you on top of LeConte. I'm glad I found your blog, I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how you fair. Keep your faith brother.... five loaves and three fish fed 5000(and that was just the men(and there were leftovers)), I think three bucks can get one man to Maine. Write a book. I'll be first in line to buy it.

P.S. Your snores sound like a bear rummaging through food packs.
