Backpacking The Great Smokey Mountains National Park

Becky, Becky Peter and I choose to backpack the smokey mountains for the hell of it.  We met in PA at Becky's house, gathered food stuffs and what not. We managed to pack it all into Pete's Golf then on the road to TN.  When we got there we did a few day hikes to warm up and then did our loop trip.  The first day we hiked 11 miles (although some of us will later claim it was closer to 13 miles) and then we hiked six miles each of the additional days.  We actually did the trip backwards from how it was recommended because I had said I wouldn't feel like hiking 11 miles the last day.  The conclusion was that its not fun to hike that far ever.
